Cancer Active Recovery Support (C.A.R.S.)
Proudly supporting those receiving a cancer diagnosis through recovery and beyond
Registered Charity No 1201440
Trustee Chair Report Year Ending 31.12.2025
This end of year report for 2025 summarises the work of Cancer Active Recovery Support and the progress made during 2025. As Chair of the Trustee Board, I am extremely pleased to report that 2025 has been a successful year during which Cancer Active Recovery Support has established its charitable role both locally and throughout Leicestershire.
Trustee Board
In accordance with the constitution quarterly meetings have been held by the Trustee Board. The Trustee Board acknowledges the need for greater resilience and specific expertise now that Cancer Active Recovery Support is growing. The Board is looking at maintaining firm foundations to ensure that future growth can be effectively managed.
The appointment of a new Business Development Trustee in 2025 recognised the need to prioritise business strategy and ensure the internal structure of the Charity is appropriate for the continued growth of Cancer Active Recovery Support.
However, further efforts to expand the Trustee Board have been unsuccessful and the appointment of additional trustees to cover fundraising, social media, marketing and the secretarial role remains a priority. Also, the Board is looking to expand the diversity of the Trustees and with this in mind will continue to actively search for additional Board members.
The Trustees have provided essential support for Cancer Active Recovery Support throughout the year including fundraising and representing the Charity at local events.
As Chair I continue to represent and raise the publicity of Cancer Active Recovery Support. In particular, I have attended multi agency meetings with the local VCSE and NHS Health board to explore opportunities for the charity sector to assist the NHS in delivering services under the Government’s 10-year Health Plan for England. Representatives from Cancer Active Recovery Support have also attended multi -agency events promoting healthcare and wellbeing throughout 2025. This continues to raise public awareness of the Charity and promote the services the Charity is providing.
Volunteers
The Trustee Board consists of volunteers, and the Charity is reliant on volunteers to support the services provided.
It is a measure of the success of the Charity that many of our volunteers are those that have attended Cancer Active Recovery Support interventions and have personally benefitted from the support the Charity has provided. The Charity has a pool of volunteers who attend events and promote Cancer Active Recovery Support and assist in charity fundraising.

Charity services.
The Charity has expanded and made huge progress due to funding opportunities and collaborative working with charity and corporate bodies including Macmillan, Severn Trent Water and Cadent.
The funding from Severn Trent Water has enabled the Charity to fund two part-time posts, to cover administration and social media work.
This is a significant move for Cancer Active Recovery Support; these roles have enabled considerable progress to be made in promoting the Charity and raising public awareness, and in moving the Charity’s role in providing support onto the next level.
Cancer Active Recovery Support is proud that the Charity, although still relatively young, has been recognised for the work being done at a local level by Macmillan. The collaborative working and funding by Macmillan is important, not only for the funding, but also in providing evidence that the Charity is being recognised as having a role to play in the provision of local support by a well-known National Charity. As a Charity, Cancer Active Recovery Support is keen to continue this collaborative working. Already the benefits are being seen with the funding enabling the Charity to reach a wider selection of people and extend the geographical area in which the Charity is working. For those who do not have English as a first language, translated literature is available as are interpreters. The charity is all inclusive and actively promotes diversity; specific information is provided for the LGBTQ + community. Cancer Active Recovery Support was extremely proud to be invited to the Loughborough Teeyan da Mela in 2025; an illustration of recognition of Cancer Active Recovery Support by diverse communities.
The funding from Macmillan has enabled the Charity to set up and run Cancer Hubs throughout Leicestershire. Hubs have been established in locations including Moira, Hinckley, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and the Charity has been active in the Afro Caribbean Centre in Leicester City as well as providing Information Stations in the wider City communities.
The Hubs run once a month at each location and provide a place for those with a cancer diagnosis and their families, friends and carers to visit. The social benefit of these Hubs cannot be underestimated. Not only do these Hubs provide a space where people feel comfortable to share their thoughts and experiences regarding their cancer pathway, but they can also access cancer specific trusted information and signposting capabilities which have been made with specific cancer related groups, charities and support services. There is also the personal touch from the face-to-face conversations which is greatly appreciated by those attending. Of note is the ripple effect which is already been seen in the Hubs to the wider community in the specific locations. In addition to the direct support provided to those with a diagnosis of cancer, those attending as carers and relatives have also expressed their appreciation of the support gained from being able to interact with others providing the same supportive roles.
Following the success of the Hubs the Charity has run specific workshops, covering issues including ‘Sleep & Fatigue’, ‘Self Care Scar Therapy’ and ‘Healthy Eating Made Simple’. This is an intervention in which Cancer Active Recovery Support is looking to expand in the future.
The Charity is now providing a wide-ranging digital Directory, which was launched in January 2025, for those seeking information about cancer related issues via the website. Working collaborative and collating direct information and links to specific charities and services, the Charity can support the community with written information including screening, treatment and rehabilitation services which can be accessed by anyone seeking support. This is an

important resource which is continually being updated; initial feedback is extremely encouraging.
Funding
Cancer Active Recovery Support has continued to use funding in a way which is effective in promoting the aims of the Charity. The initial emphasis was on funding the ‘In the Pink’ programmes which provide support for people following a diagnosis of breast cancer, addressing both physical and mental well-being rehabilitation. The Charity continues to fund the full cost of the programmes including venues, delivery and equipment.
As Trustee Chair, I have attended sessions at the ‘In the Pink’ programmes which has given me the opportunity to watch how the programme is delivered and more importantly, to speak directly with the participants. As Trustees, the Board considers it is paramount that the Charity funds are used effectively in a way which continues to promote the aims of the charity and ensure that funds are being used appropriately and cost effectively. I have also attended Workshops and Hub sessions, and I am satisfied that the funding of the services supported by the Charity is an effective way of promoting Cancer Active Recovery Support. Not only do they align with the aim to bring services to the local communities, but the participants themselves continue to attest to the practical benefits to their physical and mental wellbeing.
Specific sustainable events have included the Valentines Day Raffle, the Easter Sale, Tea at the Ritz and the Christmas Hamper Raffle, all of which raised funds for the Charity. The Charity is keen on transparency and both Trustees and Funders are encouraged to attend the events provided by Cancer Active Recovery Support to see directly how funds are being used.
The Charity has expanded in 2025 and made huge progress due to funding opportunities and collaborative working with other Charities and corporate bodies both at national and local level as detailed previously.
However, this 12-month funding period has now ceased, and funding is the key priority for 2026. For Cancer Active Recovery Support to continue the level of support which the Charity is providing, and which is clearly needed and appreciated in the community, new sources of funding must be identified. Whilst individual personal donations are always greatly appreciated, the Charity requires long term funding. Efforts have been made to attract corporate donors, but currently this has not had great success. It is apparent that the competition for the limited funding sources available is great and opportunities are limited for a small charity such as Cancer Active Recovery Support, which covers a specific cancer related remit. Additionally, it is evident that the partnership between NHS services and the Voluntary Sector will become more important with the implementation of the Government’s 10-year Health Plan for England and the role of charities including Cancer Active Recovery Support in the delivery of supporting local services.
As with many smaller charities, the challenges in relation to fundraising are significant and continuous. The Charity recognises this need and will endeavour to pursue and develop funding initiatives to continue its services in support of the cancer community in 2026.
Priorities for 2026
-
To target fundraising opportunities with emphasis on corporate sponsor development.
-
To maintain and develop further collaborative relationships.
-
To continue to raise the profile and awareness of Cancer Active Recovery Support.
-
To develop an active business strategy for Cancer Active Recovery Support

To identify suitable additional Trustees.
-
To promote the services currently offered by Cancer Active Recovery Support and develop and refine these.
-
To consolidate and publicise the Cancer Hubs

To conclude, as Trustee Chair, I am immensely grateful to and proud of all those who have supported the work of Cancer Active Recovery Support during 2025. The challenges which the Cancer Active Recovery Support faces in 2026 are great but I look forward to seeing these being met to enable the continuation of the progress which has been made in 2025.
