A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR

At the time of writing this report we have just taken an important step in our emergence - from the Covid-19 global pandemic as we re open Weston Park Cancer Support to the public. There is no doubt that the uncertainties of the past 18 months have challenged the charity, as it has the wider voluntary sector, our colleagues in the NHS and social care, and the businesses and individuals who have been loyal supporters over many years. But throughout this time, I have witnessed the very best of people, their resilience, kindness, as well as selfless financial support despite the uncertain economic environment.

Our focus throughout 2020/21 was on what mattered most to keep people safe and to support them and their loved ones as they not only faced cancer, but also fears of contracting COVID-19 and the social isolation many endured whilst shielding. It is why we kept our helpline running throughout the pandemic, staffed by experienced Healthcare Professionals, who provided a compassionate listening ear to people newly diagnosed and those whose treatment was paused or altered.

To minimise feelings of loneliness and to help people remain connected, we introduced our ‘We Care’ service, a regular phone call for a friendly chat to ensure no one, particularly those living alone, ever felt forgotten. We mobilised swiftly to help those who couldn’t get out to the shops or pharmacy. And for those facing financial hardship due to the pandemic, we put in place emergency hardship grants which ensured vital funds were provided within twoworking days.

Our well-regarded Welfare Advice service continued via phone and a priority was to ensure no delay in accessing benefits for people who sadly received a terminal diagnosis. We also invested in technology to support our NHS colleagues, so that people attending appointments alone could dial-in a loved one from home or the hospital carpark, and so people staying in hospital could videocall a loved one when visiting was not permitted to help minimise the spread of the virus.

And we embraced digital technology to deliver other services such as 1:1 mindfulness sessions, enabling us to support people experiencing anxiety in the comfort of their own home. Digital channels were used to share information videos about the vaccine, addressing frequently asked questions being received on our helpline.

Although new grant applications were paused, we were proud to honour all existing financial commitments and to work with our grant-holders, supporting them, where appropriate, to adapt their project.

The pandemic year required the charity to adjust from its five-year strategy to deal with a rapidly changing world and uncertain future. As every well-intentioned plan quickly became out of date, what guided the charity was its core values and its commitment to be ‘together at every step’ for the one in two people facing cancer. My pride in the charity has only grown as I have seen the unwavering resolve of the staff team, our loyal supporters, our partners and my fellow trustees, who have offered time and expertise to help steer the charity through and beyond the pandemic. We are in a strong position for the future and we will take what we have learned through adversity to shape our work in the years to come.

OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSE AND PUBLIC BENEFIT

Our vision, which leads us to all that we do, is to provide the best life for everyone living with and beyond cancer, both now and in the future.

We achieve this by delivering three key pillars of work;

We Provide Support - Weston Park Cancer Support is our frontline support service, giving patients and families emotional, practical support, help and guidance, a place to be and people to be with.

We Enhance Treatment - by delivering complementary therapies or improving the environment on wards and facilities for patients and visitors, we enhance the experience and often the impact of treatment.

We Enable Research - we fund vital research and clinical trials of global relevance, enabling our medical professionals to understand and treat cancer better, in a way that changes and saves lives.

And, that’s how we achieve our overarching goal, to actively care in every sense for the patient and the people around them.

Who benefits from our work?

The principal beneficiaries of the charity are cancer patients and their families and carers. We see people who use cancer services in Sheffield and their carers and we have a wide catchment area covering South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and include people with rare cancers from other parts of the country.

COVID-19 MAKES CANCER EVEN TOUGHER.

Over the last year, many of the people we support, haven’t just faced cancer. The Covid-19 outbreak has had a devastating effect on people with cancer; disrupting so much of the treatment and support that cancer patients and their families rely on.

We’ve heard from people who have been;

The impact of the above is reflected in the complexity of the support our Healthcare Professionals have provided and where those people supported have been on their cancer journey. Our data shows a significant increase in level 4 (most complex support) in 2020/21 compared to the previous year. Our data also reflects the wider impact of Covid-19 on the NHS and cancer services with calls from clients ‘in treatment’ decreasing sharply.

FOR ONE IN TWO OF US CANCER WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING. WHEN IT DOES, SO CAN WE.

On 17[th] March 2020 our charity offices, including Weston Park Cancer Support, closed ahead of the official UK lockdown on 23[rd] March. From the moment the pandemic hit, our service delivery changed overnight, and we had to adapt fast to the challenges which people were facing because of shielding and social distancing.

We’ve always promised to be there, at every step, for patients and families facing cancer so we moved all our non-contact services online and set up new services to meet the new needs of people affected by cancer. Despite, our buildings being closed, we were able to;

OUR FREE, CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE HELPLINE

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803

Registered number 1480596

Our free, confidential telephone helpline became a critical part of our Covid-19 response; ensuring that we could continue to be there – every step of the way – for people facing cancer.

Since lockdown began, our Healthcare Professionals have been answering questions such as; What does this mean for my cancer? Will my treatment be stopped – or will it even start? My cancer operation has been cancelled, how long will it be before I can now have surgery?

‘The call has been much appreciated thank you, it has been really helpful to know I can get advice and support, especially as the hospital is even busier than normal at this time’

Changes in lockdowns and guidelines have often caused additional fear and anxiety. That is where our helpline can be, in the words of one of our clients ‘not just a helpline but an absolute lifeline’.

‘I was feeling quite down before about being in isolation for so long, but after this chat I feel so much better and more positive’

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT

Here at Weston Park Cancer Charity, our Healthcare Professionals not only support patients and their families throughout the difficult times from diagnosis, treatment and beyond, but also during the aftermath of losing a much-loved partner, family member or friend to cancer.

Whilst we are unable to take away the overwhelming pain and sadness, our knowledgeable staff can try to help people understand the grieving process and the wide range of feelings that people go through.

Pre-Covid 19, bereaved people could drop into Weston Park Cancer Support, or book an appointment for one-to-one support, or for those who prefer group settings, attend a six-week bereavement course. Whilst this had to be put on hold due to social distancing, we still actively provided a telephone and online support on a one-to-one basis for people who were struggling with their thoughts and feelings at the loss of a loved one.

Staff reflection:

“ Today I took a call from bereaved lady who lost her husband due to a brain tumour - he died sooner than expected. This has been a huge shock, although she knew he wasn’t curable, his life expectancy had been several more months. Furthermore the family can’t attend his funeral due to current government guidelines. ” Call received via our helpline in April 2020 by our bereavement specialist, Vicky.

DELIVERING SERVICES IN THE CONTEXT OF CORONAVIRUS

Mindfulness

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803

Registered number 1480596

Over the last year we have had to process so many changes; guidance on shielding has changed, some consultations are now being done over the phone and treatment has been delivered in the context of coronavirus.

Mindfulness

Over the last year we have had to process so many changes; guidance on shielding has changed, some consultations are now being done over the phone and treatment has been delivered in the context of coronavirus.

It’s so easy to be hard on yourself, thinking you should be stronger, more resilient and able to cope. People may be spending time dwelling on the past thinking ‘why me’ or ‘I wish I’d gone to the GP sooner’ or you might be lying awake at night worrying about the future. When your mind begins to spiral this is when mindfulness can really help.

Mindfulness is a simple practice which brings your attention to the here and now allowing you to pause and reflect and step away from the whirlwind journey that cancer can be.

Recognising the importance of mindfulness on people’s mental health, we moved our mindfulness sessions on to Zoom.

Yoga Nidra

We also moved our guided meditation sessions, yoga nidra, online.

Delivered over the phone, on a 1:1 or group basis via Zoom, our yoga nidra and mindfulness sessions help people with relaxation techniques for people feeling stressed or anxious.

One client commented; “Just to say ‘thank you’ for your support over the past five sessions. I’ve been surprised by how well it works using Zoom! I’ve really valued the sessions- both as a space to receive guided mindfulness and also a regular space to catch up on how I’m feeling and how my treatment is going.

WELFARE AND LEGAL SUPPORT

Cancer can often radically alter the financial circumstances of those affected by it. People may become unable to work and suffer a loss of income, while at the same time being faced with many extra expenses. Carers may also need to give up work in order to care for someone with cancer. Together this can put an enormous financial strain on those affected by cancer, who may find themselves struggling to negotiate the benefits system or sort out employment issues when at their most vulnerable.

“ Discovering that either you or a family member has cancer is a dreadful experience and at the same time you have to navigate through a complex financial situation. Simply put this service is invaluable. ”

At Weston Park Cancer Charity we fund advice workers from Citizens Advice Sheffield to provide specialist advice to people about all benefits they are entitled to – means-tested such as Universal Credit and Pension Credit and Disability Benefits such as Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance - and provide help claiming them when required. We can also provide advice on other issues, for example employment concerns, housing, debt, immigration.

“ Thank you so much for your help and support at this time when my family and I are so vulnerable and afraid. Your help has helped us bear this situation a little better. The Covid-19 situation meant that everything was done via telephone and unfortunately mum doesn't hear very well and Dave was brilliant and patient with her. I can't praise the advisors enough. ”

CONNECTING PEOPLE REMOTELY

During the pandemic people missed out on family gatherings for birthdays, weddings and other key celebrations. There were no spontaneous get-togethers with friends or family and many spent Christmas alone. We know the power of peer support, to just spend time with others in a similar situation who, without words, just understand. This is why we took our well attended face-to-face coffee mornings online and spent time together over Afternoon Tea. Our Healthcare Professionals helped people to get to grips with technology and facilitated a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the Zoom-room.

We also found a unique way of connecting a mummy and her children while parted due to intensive treatment.

Staff reflection:

“ In our work and personal life, we are all facing the reality of social distancing. This feels strange and at times overwhelming. So let me tell you about how we helped a Mummy and her children remain connected during the most challenging of times any family could face.

Mary has two children, Ivan who is 4 years old and her daughter, Sarah* who is 7 years old. Mary has a diagnosis of plasma cell leukaemia which is an aggressive form of myeloma. She had three cycles of chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant in 2019. She is now recovering and making the difficult decision about whether to proceed directly into an allogeneic stem cell transplant which would involve more intensive chemotherapy and a three-four week inpatient stay. Mary’s

9

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803 Registered number 1480596

children will not be allowed to visit her during her transplant because of the infection risk.

A social worker has been working with Mary for the last month supporting her to find helpful ways to include her children in her diagnosis and treatment. Mary is very frightened and reports that she and her children find the hospital separations very painful. Nurturing attachments through periods of separation is incredibly important so the charity has paid for a mummy and baby bunny toy to help with this. The idea is that the toys are introduced before the separation and the parent keeps the 'small one' and the child keeps the 'large one' which will represent the parent during the separation, each can then hug their toy when they miss each other.” Emma Clarke, Director of Services and Grant-Giving

FINDING NEW WAYS TO SUPPORT PEOPLE

Being there at every step, means finding new ways to reach people affected by cancer, during the pandemic.

We care

A cancer diagnosis followed by treatment is one of the most difficult experiences patients and those supporting them could ever go through. Despite this bringing about its own challenges, adding a global pandemic to the mix has resulted in a concoction of feelings such as isolation, anxiety and concern for the future, for many people.

10

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803 Registered number 1480596

Our team of Healthcare Professionals recognised this, and as a potential antidote the ‘we care’ telephone service was born – to wholeheartedly care in every sense for people who need our help – which was especially important when so many people affected by cancer have been shielding to keep themselves or family members safe.

For those who have benefitted from regular ‘we care’ calls, many have expressed to the team that it has been ‘something that they look forward to all week’ and for others ‘a ray of sunshine when I am feeling low’.

“ I would have hesitated to call you just because I was feeling lonely as that didn’t seem like a good enough reason to call when so many people are so much worse off than me. The fact that you bothered to see how I was, was so lovely of you – and very welcome. ”

Hardship support

Economic uncertainty was a major consequence of the pandemic. Although we saw the Government set up the furlough scheme to stabilise the impact on livelihoods, many still faced immediate hardship as businesses closed, support to those selfemployed was delayed and all but essential workers were instructed to ‘Stay Home’ to protect the NHS.

In response we set up a hardship fund which supported 42 people in immediate need. Many grants were to help with household bills when people advised to shield were unable to work and so had a drop in their income, or to cover the cost of taxis to the hospital for treatment for those who were avoiding public transport. Grants were also used to help bridge the gap while benefits applications were processed.

We have decided to continue to provide hardship grants even as the impact of the pandemic has lessened: a cancer diagnosis still can greatly affect a household’s income, and we are still hearing from those in need of additional financial support due to their illness.

Shopping service

As the coronavirus pandemic continued to evolve, we continued to look at ways to adapt our services, including the launch of a brand new food delivery service to support people who were shielding and had no other local support.

Peter, aged 72 who was shielding, commented; “it’s been like having a life-line, having support. Not just shopping but seeing and speaking to someone each week really helps.” Peter received weekly visits from staff at Weston Park Cancer Charity who delivered weekly food shops along with additional extras like bunting for VE day to help brighten people’s day.

Staff reflection:

“ I remember taking Peter’s call on our Helpline at the beginning of the pandemic. His enquiry was so simple but so profound: ‘I am having chemo and my consultant has told me to stay at home, but I live alone and I don’t know how I am going to get my weekly shopping’. It was then I knew the charity needed to act, to make sure that no one facing cancer worried about how they were going to eat. ” Emma Clarke, our Director of Services and Grant-Giving

RAISING AWARENESS

Supporting the NHS Open for Business Campaign

The ‘Open For Business’ or the ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign was established by NHS after evidence showed that four in ten people were too concerned about being a burden on the NHS to seek help from their GP, resulting in significant concerns about delays to diagnosis, for cancer and other serious conditions.

Diagnosing cancer at an early stage is crucial to effective treatment and survival rates so we’ve been particularly concerned about people who have not contacted their GP during the pandemic, despite being worried about signs and symptoms of cancer. So, we’ve supported the NHS Open for Business campaign by increasing our cancer awareness messaging about symptoms and prevention as well as adapting our services for those with more complex needs due to late diagnosis.

In doing so, we worked closely with the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Cancer Alliance to support their Open for Business toolkit; providing video content and best practice examples to share with other charities and healthcare providers across the sector.

Covid Vaccine

We worked with leading cancer professionals across Sheffield to develop our Covid-19 vaccine guidance ensuring that people affected by cancer knew the vaccine was safe and really important – even for people on chemotherapy, targeted anti-cancer drugs, immunotherapy or radiotherapy. This included a detailed Q&A session on our website, videos and working with colleagues at Sheffield Teaching Hospital to inform guidance.

Reaching more people

Christmas football visits to Weston Park Cancer Centre, in Sheffield, are always a highlight of the year for patients undergoing cancer treatment and their families. Yet covid-19 meant players were unable to visit – despite this the team were determined to spread Christmas cheer.

As a result, in 2021 we were proud to win two awards at the European Content Awards for Video Content Campaign of the Year and Collaborative Content Campaign of the Year. Working in partnership with Trunk, Bambi Media and Sheffield United, we were able to find innovative ways to reach more people than ever before.

HOW WE HAVE HELPED IN NUMBERS

The number of people helped by via our cancer support services reduced on the previous year due to our support centre being closed from mid-March 2020, ceasing of all face-to-face services. Support was transferred to phone and digital, with the majority of being provided on a 1:1 basis. During the year 992 people received help on 8757 separate occasions from one of our experienced health care professionals or welfare advisers, who offered a listening ear when someone received a cancer diagnosis or when a loved one died of cancer; provided information about benefits or legal advice; and who calmed the mind of those experiencing anxiety using guided mindfulness support.

The number of people that can be counted as helped by one of our grants has seen a substantial drop from the previous year, from 11,346 to 2,973. This is in large part to the extended closure of Weston Park library during the pandemic, which served over 7,000 in the previous year. Additionally a number of other hospital-based projects, including children’s activity packs at Weston Park and complementary therapy at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, were not able to continue under pandemic restrictions.

However, some projects were able to continue, such as the Cancer Clinical Trials Centre recruiting and treating patients on clinical trials, Age UK Sheffield Independent Living Coordinators supporting older people affected by cancer, the Fans FC programme providing opportunities for physical activity both in person and online, and Sheffield Cancer Choir learning how to practice over videocall.

The true number of people helped by our grants will be higher than this due to the nature of some of our projects. For example, we cannot count how many patients may have made video calls while staying on the wards or had smoother remote consultations, thanks to the tablets we purchased for the hospital, or who enjoyed watching the fish tank we rent for the radiotherapy waiting room.

OUR TREATMENT AND CARE GRANTS

In addition to the people we support, our beneficiaries, particularly for grants, includes:

16

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803

Registered number 1480596

125 people have stayed in the refurbished suite of rooms for patients receiving brachytherapy or molecular radiotherapy, forms of radiotherapy that require patients to remain isolated in their rooms for up to five days. A grant of £88,940 was used during the refurbishment work in 2019 to improve the rooms beyond NHS standard, including more comfortable furniture, a range of entertainment technology, and state-of-the-art ceiling radiation monitors.

£512.57 was claimed from a small grant to support paediatric radiotherapy patients. This was used to help encourage 20 children who came to Weston Park for radiotherapy through their therapy. All had sticker charts to count down their sessions and an end-of-treatment gift; extra gifts were bought for four children who were in treatment on their birthday and one child in treatment at Christmas. 11 of the children required a face mask or vacuum bag to hold them in position during their radiotherapy, and these were decorated using materials purchased with the grant.

Our grant to the Teenage and Young Adult team helped them to support 219 patients this year. During lockdown and the shielding period, £250 hardship grants have been used to buy computing equipment to be able to study remotely, home gym equipment to stay active and healthy, and to help with household bills while unable to work. Although patients have not been able to spend time on the Teenage Cancer Unit to take part in activities, the staff have used the grant money to buy and send hobby and comfort items directly to the patients’ homes.

SUPPORTING NHS STAFF ON THE FRONTLINE

We awarded £3,900 of small grants to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals to purchase 19 tablets, so that people could stay connected with medical teams and loved ones.

“ I am delighted that Weston Park Cancer Charity has bought ipads so that our patients who are currently inpatients can use them to talk to loved ones who cannot visit them due to the current covid-19 restrictions. ” Consultant clinical oncologist, Kash Purohit, pictured.

“ The tablets are extremely useful and will help with the care of our patients who have surgery for cancer. We are a regional centre and therefore take in patients from across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire and a lot of these patients when they come back from theatre with no means of communicating through their voice, they feel very isolated. Especially at the moment when people aren’t allowed visitors - we’re really struggling with their emotional needs too. We also see that it will be very useful to train district nurses and carers who aren’t able to come into the hospital on managing, caring and supporting their loved ones when they have a tracheostomy and also a speaking valve as a result of the laryngectomy. ” Jane Thorton, Speech and Language therapist working on the head and neck at RHH

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Independent Living Coordination Service

Our partnership with Age UK Sheffield funds two Independent Living Coordinators, who support people over the age of 50 affected by cancer to retain or regain their independence. This can include completing benefits and blue badge applications; organising home adaptation and mobility aids; arranging home support such as carers, cleaners or gardeners; and booking onto community transport services.

“ I just felt so lost with all these papers and forms; I was coping, but felt on my own. I’m highly delighted that Sarah came to see us, she was marvellous. Please let everyone there at Age UK Sheffield know how much of a difference it has made. ”

During lockdown the service had to move away from home visits, but quickly adapted so that all clients had personalised Covid-19 plans to ensure all needs were met during lockdown, including food and medication deliveries, transport to any appointments, help with setting up remote bill payments, and continuing telephone support.

The grant cost £79,077 for this year and 324 people were supported. In addition to the practical and emotional support provided by the Independent Living Coordinators, the service also secured £411,017 in annual benefits increases and £69,837 in arrears payments for these clients.

“ My sincerest thanks and gratitude for all you have done to help me and my family. Since your telephone call and registering me Sainsbury's have emailed me and I have managed to place an order online for groceries to be delivered tomorrow. ”

“ Thank you so much for all your help. It’s taken so much stress and worry away from me knowing that I can call up and know you're there for me when I need it. You've sorted everything out for me. You helped with incorrectly calculated overpayment of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support of over £1500. Got them to recalculate down to 2 pence overpayment. ”

Free online singing therapy

We are proud to work in partnership with Sheffield Cancer Choir – the first choir of its kind in Sheffield. During the pandemic they offered free online singing therapy to anyone affected by cancer.

Fans FC

Fans FC is a programme designed to support those diagnosed with, affected by, or to help prevent, cancer. In partnership with the Premier League Charitable Fund and Weston Park Cancer Charity the Fans FC programme aims to provide free mental and physical support to those that need it.

OUR RESEARCH GRANTS

Providing access to new treatments unavailable on the NHS and furthering our understanding of cancer is vital while it remains the major cause of death in the UK today. Therefore, funding and enabling research has remained a top priority, despite the challenges on income generation.

Covid-19 has slowed us down, but our commitment to research remained the same.

Research grants

We honoured all our committed funding, at a time when many national cancer charities announced a significant drop in research funding.

During this time, some projects were able to continue from home; with researchers analysing data. Others were paused as experiments could not be done at home, but we worked with our research team to agree new timescales and honour the funding. Total research grant payments made in the year was £553,619 across 17 research grants.

Clinical trials

We also reaffirmed our commitment to support clinical trials to aid the cancer sector’s Covid-19 recovery, after figures suggested significant falls in cancer referral numbers and diagnoses during the pandemic.

As a result of the fall in referrals and diagnoses, it is anticipated that an increased number of cancers will also be diagnosed later.

“ The drop in cancer referrals and diagnoses during Covid-19 will inevitably lead to many cancers being diagnosed at a later stage, meaning that support for clinical trials and research is more important now than ever. ”

Weston Park Cancer Charity Trustee, Professor Robert Coleman, Emeritus Professor of Medical Oncology

Recruitment to many clinical trials was paused due to safety concerns, either because of the treatment itself or the required visits to the Centre, and so only 159 patients were recruited to clinical trials in this year. However, a further 1,900 patients already on trials continued to be supported by the clinical trials team, who set up both drive-through pick-up and home delivery for trial medication, to save patients from entering the building where possible.

Our investment in clinical and early phase trials capability ensures people across the region can continue to benefit from the latest scientific advances in cancer treatment.

EXTENDING OUR REACH

Weston Park Cancer Charity is here, together at every step, for people in Chesterfield and North Derbyshire

From Monday 30th November 2020 Weston Park Cancer Charity took over operations at Nenna Kind, in a move which saw the Chesterfield based charity adopt the Weston Park Cancer Charity name.

Barbara and David Wallace set up Nenna Kind after their daughter Helen, affectionately known as Nenna Kind, was diagnosed with cancer. Through their personal experience they developed a cancer support service which has been an

23

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803

Registered number 1480596

incredible support for people in Chesterfield and beyond. I t’s a privilege to be asked to continue their legacy and we look forward to launching the transport service as a priority in April 2021.

OUR RESOURCES

‘Our resources are wide-ranging but whether our staff, volunteers or donations we will manage and govern all of our resources as effectively and efficiently as possible.’

In 2019 we launched a brand-new five-year strategy, yet we hadn’t foreseen a global pandemic as part of these plans. Throughout 2020/21 we have changed and adapted an unprecedented level. During this time, our trustees and senior leadership team have met more frequently; we’ve been able to respond more quickly and adapt to the ever-changing needs of people affected by cancer, due to the coronavirus. This has included;

At the time of writing, some of our original plans remain on pause and our five-year strategy is under review so that we can determine how best to support the postpandemic recovery.

FUNDRAISING

We understand how difficult it has been for many people – businesses have struggled, people have lost jobs and community groups haven’t been able to meet in the same way. It’s meant that some of our traditional fundraising methods haven’t worked or haven’t been as effective during the pandemic and you won’t be surprised to hear that Covid-19 hit our fundraising hard, just as people needed us the most.

We were expecting an increase in income from a special programme of fundraising events to celebrate Weston Park Hospital’s 50th birthday yet we’ve had to cancel most of these events and most of the associated fundraising activity throughout 2020/21.

Our ability to fundraise during the pandemic was limited and our income dropped by just under one million pounds in the year to £1.7million. The effect of the pandemic on fundraising has continued into 2021/22 and we know that this is not going to change overnight – just as the impact of the pandemic will roll on, so will the effects of our reduced funds and we don’t expect to reach pre-covid income until 2023.

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803 Registered number 1480596

In 2020/21 we raised £1,717k (£2,595k, in 2019-20) this was £1,263k less than our budget which was set in December 2019. The biggest decrease has been in our fundraising activities which are down by £625k on last year, legacies and grants were both just over were £100k less than last year. Furlough income was £65k.

Despite the drop in our income our reserves enabled us to keep our services and grant commitments going at a time when our services were needed the more than ever. The £63k of reserves that we spent has meant that we are still there for the people who need us the most.

CREATING A GREAT PLACE TO WORK AND VOLUNTEER

“We want to create a workplace where every volunteer and staff member: Trusts the people they work for, has pride in what they do, enjoys their work and the people with whom they work”

Our staff

At Weston Park Cancer Charity we have set out to create the best life for everyone living with and beyond cancer; and our staff are an important part of making this real. Not just in the work that they do, but because everything they say and do is a vital part of reinforcing our commitment to be there – together at every step for people affected by cancer.

Covid-19 has changed the way we operate as a charity and we’ve faced challenges on an unprecedented scale. The pandemic meant that all of our staff moved from an office-based work environment to home working on the 18[th] March 2020 – including our Healthcare Professionals so that they could continue to keep our telephone helpline open.

“ I just want to say thank you to you all for continuing to run the service. Coming to the centre has always made a massive difference to me and just to know that you are still there is so incredibly comforting. Please say thank you to the whole team. ”

Staff wellbeing

Ensuring the wellbeing of our staff was of paramount importance throughout the year. We set up a Wellbeing Group to look at and implement ways to keep our staff connected, whilst working remotely, and well. This included weekly coffee and catchups, quiz es, The Weston Arms virtual Friday night out, encouraging staff to take breaks away from their screens, buddy system, a duvet day, Christmas shopping day and a virtual afternoon tea.

We also completed a new banding and grading system and introduced a new Total Rewards Package that looked not only at salary but at other benefits including Westfield Health for all staff, Death in Service and a holiday purchase scheme.

Staff reflection:

“ Working for Weston Park Cancer Charity is extremely rewarding, and I really am honoured to be able to meet the most incredible people, hear their stories, meet their families and friends, and hopefully in some of the most difficult of times, create some light and hope. The smallest of thing can make the biggest of difference, and no matter what role in the charity you play, you create this change each and every day. ” Charlotte Swinhoe, Fundraising Executive and winner of the 2020 Glu Recruit Office Heroes Awards!

Staff changes

As always, we are committed to working as efficiently as possible to ensure every pound raised makes a real difference to those living with and beyond cancer and it is with great regret that we have made a number of our valued staff redundant. This was a very difficult decision but our work has changed, and will continue to change as a result of Covid.

Our staff team decreased from 32 to 26 and we lost some long-standing staff members due to the changes. However, we also introduced a small number of news roles and welcomed five new members of staff whose roles reflect the emerging needs of the organisation: one in September and four in March.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We want to ensure that our charity is a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone. In response to Black Lives Matters we set up an EDI working group to enable colleagues to share experiences, ideas and take action to bring about greater diversity and equity. The group meets monthly and has a focus on education and cultural change and working alongside those with lived experience to ensure marginalised voices are heard and amplified.

Our volunteers

The safety of our volunteers has been of paramount importance and therefore we stopped all volunteering activity in March 2020, following the national lockdown. With many of our volunteers aged over 70 or classified as clinically vulnerable we have not yet resumed any volunteer activity.

In the meantime, we supported our volunteers with regular ‘We Care’ calls and look forward to welcoming them back in the upcoming year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of accounts

At 31st March 2021 there was a net increase in funds of £35k (2019/20 Increase of £273k).

In 2020/21 the merger of Nenna Kind resulted in income and transfer in of assets of £105k.

Expenditure costs in the year were £1779k (2020 £2,276k) decrease of £497k. The largest decrease, £426k was in grants payable as a number of our large grants were put on hold due to researchers being called back to front line service or were furloughed.

28

Annual report 2020/21

Charity registration number 509803

Registered number 1480596

The year ended much better than we had expected when our first reforecasts were produced.

Investments

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, The Trustees are empowered to invest the resources of the charity in any way they think fit.

At the 31 March 2021 the Charity held £528k (2020 £436k) in investments an increase of £92k (2019: decrease of £71k) since last year. The market value of the portfolio increased by £96k compared to book cost and there was a net £4k reduction in the book cost of stocks held.

Reserves Policy

In formulating their reserves policy, Trustees have followed the guidance set out by The Charity Commission in deciding, publishing, implementing and monitoring their charity's reserves policy so that they can comply with their legal duties to:

The Trustees use a risk-based approach to assess the level of unrestricted undesignated reserves that need to be held. The risks are monetised and compared to the value of working capital required. The higher value is used as the reserves level. The Trustees reserves policy sets a minimum of £500k unrestricted, undesignated funds. Reserves are reviewed at least annually.

At 31[st] March 2021 the charity’s total reserves were £3,748,247 (2020: £3,712,811).

Of the £1.8m designated funds £1.1m has been designated to Research Grants and £0.7m to Treatment and Care Grants.

This leaves general unrestricted funds of £1.7m (2020: £1.0m). This exceeds the target level of £500k and so the trustees are intending to review the reserves position again during the coming year.

STRUCTURE & GOVERNANCE

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the group and the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

The skills audit of the Board is reviewed on an ongoing basis and linked to our fiveyear strategy to try to help us to recruit people with the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to strengthen our leadership. We appointed four new trustees in the year to bolster the following areas:

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

Our trustees share the passion for our cause and understand the voluntary commitment involved to fulfil the position to a high standard. Those interested are invited to an interview with remunerations and Nominations Committee and may then be invited to become a trustee of the charity.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees are invited to a number of training sessions with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team which cover the responsibilities of being a trustee as well as the specifics of the management of Weston Park Cancer Charity and the ways in which we adhere to, and deliver against, our governing document and charitable objectives. New trustees are also encouraged to participate in training for new trustees delivered by the likes of Civil Society.

Trustees are encouraged to undertake training as and when they are able, and it is the responsibility of each trustee to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to be able to undertake their role. Trustees are encouraged to participate in training provided by external providers on subjects such as governance, change to charity law and codes, finance etc. The CEO provides regular updates on policy changes and information of interest from the sector press. An annual trustee away-day takes place which involves strategy development but also team building.

Linked Charity

The Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements also incorporate The Weston Park Hospital Cancer Care and Research Fund, a linked charity. The trade and assets were transferred into Weston Park Hospital Development Fund Ltd. on 30[th] April 2018. There is no continued trade within this charity.

Plans for Future Periods

One the greatest threats posed by Covid-19 is the potential to create a cancer epidemic. With less people being diagnosed and referred we know that patients and families will need our help and support services more than ever.

In our region, we serve over 1.5 million people, so that’s a lot of support, care, treatment and help we have to be ready to deliver. So, we still have ambitious plans for the future which will help us to support more people in more ways, even as covid-19 continues to affect us and the people we support over the months and years ahead.

So we’re looking ahead, at the changes we’ll need to make, our ambitions for the future and how our brilliant supporters can continue to make this all possible.

As we strive to be there – at every step – for the one in two people who will face cancer, we will;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTON PARK HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Weston Park Hospital Development Fund Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTON PARK HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 40

WESTON PARK HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WESTON PARK HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

We focussed on laws and regulations, relevant to the charity, which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management, review of client's operation of controls within the year, in particular, cash controls, and review of expenses, such as legal costs. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

As part of our audit, we addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing of journals and review of nominal ledger. We evaluated whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Weston Park Hospital Development Fund LimitedWeston Park Hospital Development Fund Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The Statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Balance sheet represent the financial statements of the charity. The results of its subsidiary undertaking, Weston Park Trading Limited have not been consolidated within the accounts due to its immaterial nature. Weston Park Trading Limited is a dormant subsidiary with share capital totalling £1. The Weston Park Hospital Cancer Care and Research Fund Charity legally merged into the Weston Park Hospital Development Fund on 1 May 2018.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

The Trustees have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure and cash flow for 12 months from authorising these financial statements which shows that they have sufficient reserves to be able to continue for the foreseeable future. The Board will continue to monitor the impact on income and take appropriate action as necessary. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the Charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified, and a third party is bearing the costs. No amounts are included in the financial statement for services donated by volunteers.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the Charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benfit from the use of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Expenditure (continued)

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contribution and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 Grants payable

Grant awards are reviewed at least annually and are subject to the grant terms.

Grants payable are recognised in full, for all years of the grant, in the year the offer is made when there are no conditions on the grant. Where grants are conditional they are recognised when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment and not recognised.

A prior year adjustment has been made in these financial statements to account for a change in accounting policy for the recognition of multi-year grants payable. Such grants were previously recognised on a payment basis and the future year amount due not recognised. In prior years the future grant commitment was disclosed in the financial statements and included as part of the designated reserves. See note 26 for the impact of the prior year adjustment.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expendiutre account.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Long-term leasehold property - 10 years
IT equipment (over £1,000) - 3 years
Fixtures and fittings (over £500) - 3 years
Motor vehicles - 10 years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

1.8 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1.9 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.13 Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value recognised, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

1.14 Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1.15 Pensions

The Charity’s main pension schemes are defined contribution pension schemes and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. The Charity also participates in one of the NHS pension schemes. It is a defined beneift scheme but the Charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying scheme liabilities and so it is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. See note 23 for further details.

1.16 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.17 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Preparation of the financial statements can require management to make significant judgements and estimates. There were no items in the financial statements which required judgements and estimates in the current or previous periods.

During the year the Charity merged with Nenna Kind Cancer Drop in Centre (companies house reference 07897112) and the assets of Nenna Kind were transferred into the Charity. The fair value of £105,135 included motor vehicles £23,000 and cash £82,135. The cash balance has not yet been received due to Nenna Kind Cancer Drop in Centre being struck off at Companies House prior to the cash transfer and therefore the need to reinstate Nenna Kind. This is considered fully recoverable.

26. Prior year adjustments

A prior year adjustment has been made to the financial statements to account for a change in the recognition of multi-year grants payable. Such grants were previously recognised on a payment basis with the future commitment shown as a designated fund. They are now accrued as a liability at the time the agreement is completed, unless there are clear conditions which the recipient needs to meet before drawing down a future instalment.

The adjustments made are as follows:
