Year End Report 2024!
Board Administration and Finance
The Charity successfully held the required 3 Board meetings in 2024, achieved charity registration in Scotland and produced our first proper financial accounts which were successfully independently assessed. This enabled us to make the required annual submission to the England and Wales Charity Commissioners, albeit a little bit late!
All of our major projects were largely funded by Pharmaceutical Companies and so we ended the year in a healthy cash position.
Key Projects
The major achievement in 2024 was the launch of a totally new website in June, including a section for news and a Forum for the creation of patient and nursing communities. Adding FAQs that are the most requested on Google is 50% complete.
The Charity also launched the TNBC Nurse Champions program, with the pilot Study Day taking place in September in conjunction with the RCNi. In December the Champions website portal to provide information and support was launched and now needs feeding. Also in December the RCNi commenced recruiting for our second Study Day to be held on 21st March and commenced planning for Study Days in Edinburgh in May and the north of England in the second half of 2025.
Towards the end of the year, a start was made to establishing a Patient Advisory Group with Katherine Gaylard, who has recently had treatment for TNBC, taking on the project, based on ongoing advice from the Independent Cancer Patients Voice. Hubbl Marketing have provided Katherine with a range of tools to undertake the administration, create questionnaires and provide data storage at very low cost. Future Dreams have agreed to partner in this project.
The Charity successfully registered as a stakeholder on a number of reviews by NICE and made our first input.
Chris Twelves is working with a colleague Dr Hira Yousef to write a professional paper for publication based on the results from the Roundtables and Webinar undertaken in 2023. It would be wonderful to take a poster to ESMO25, the major European Breast Cancer conference in May 2025.
.
A number of new partnerships were made with Pfizer, BOPA, Make2ndsCount, Ruth Strauss Charity and many others. Less successful was a visit to the Assoc. of Breast Surgeons annual conference and the ‘I Count’ project with MSD but we did get an Early Day Motion raised in Parliament. Although our partnership with RCN Foundation resulted in 3 BCNs being sponsored for further education, I am not convinced this is value for money and will review in 2025.
Happy New Year!
