Trustee's Annual Report
The Trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of company law, are pleased to present their annual

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Articles of
Association, and 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Structure, Governance and Management
Company status
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registration number 02179048, and is therefore
governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The liability of the members in the event of the
company being wound up is limited to £1. The company is a registered charity, registration number 519429, and
acts entirely as a non-profit making organisation.

Management Committee are requested annually to provide a list of their skills and identify any potential gaps.
Trustee Induction and Training
New Trustees normally receive an induction from the Chair of Trustees and the Director, with the opportunity to
meet staff and volunteers and understand the operation of the organisation with relevant training given.
Risk Management
The Management Committee maintains a regular review of the major risks to the charity with a risk register which
is updated at least quarterly and monitoring of actions to manage these risks. Internal control risks are minimised
by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. A variety of sources and
projects are used to seek to minimise risks to funding streams. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance
with the health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors. The Charity holds the Advice Quality Mark
standard which has been successfully retained in May 2024 for a further two years.
Organisational Structure
Cancer Support Yorkshire has a Management Committee, led by the Chair, currently of 5 members, with a
quorum of 3, who meet at least quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction, overall performance and
policy of the Charity.
The Board has Finance and Audit Subgroup to oversee Audit, Management accounts and the Budget. The Chair
and all Board members have responsibility for Governance and Risk.
A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services and operation
of the organisation is the responsibility of the Executive Director. The Executive Director also is a member of

Principal Funding Sources
Cancer Support Yorkshire receives statutory funding through contracts with the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated
Care Board and Bradford MDC via a consortium for welfare advice which currently equates to 55% of
expenditure. The charity raises funds through public fundraising, our Preloved Charity Shop in Skipton and
applications for grants to underpin the remaining expenditure and to support new projects

Trustee's Annual Report
Review of 2023-24 and Priorities for the future
The Trustees took steps to reduce the deficit in 2023/24 by cutting overhead costs and appointing a
professional fundraising organisation to apply for large core funding grants on behalf of the charity. However,
the deficit continued to deteriorate in the year to March 2024.
Further action became necessary during 2024/25 financial year, which included a staff restructure, reducing
centre opening times from five to four days per week and entering into discussions regarding sale of the part of
the building which was leased out to Bradford District Care Trust.
The grant applications submitted were all unsuccessful. The trusts we applied to reported that they had
received a 3000% increase in grant applications in this very challenging financial climate. Due to the significant
issues with cashflow (which had been reported to the Charities Commission in October 2024 as a risk to the
charities financial viability) by October 2024, for the immediate survival of the Charity a decision was made to
sell Daisy House Farm in its entirety. The sale completed in March 2025 generating net funds of £680,500.
Financial Viability
As with many charities, even with savings being made in staff and other expenditure, we have needed to put
financial recovery plans in place. The cash funds released from the sale of the building will ensure our viability
for the next 12 months and beyond. The charity was also fortunate to receive a legacy in the amount of £110,350
in December 2024 which covered the salaries and overhead costs for January and February 2025 before the
funds from the sale of the building were received in March 2025.
Unfortunately, between 19 March 2025 and 4 April 2025 payments totalling £170,000 were made to two
employees of the charity without approval from the trustee board. On discovery, this incident was reported to the
police and the Charity Commission and these transactions are currently subject to ongoing investigations by
both agencies. No conclusions have yet been reached at the date these financial statements were approved.
The board of trustees are pursuing recovery of these funds and are working with relevant agencies to pursue
recovery of these funds. The trustees are also reviewing internal financial controls to mitigate the risk of anything
similar happening again in the future.
In the coming year we intend to;
* Move towards a community led model where we can extend our reach into the heart of all communities
across the Bradford and Craven Districts, vital to us as a charity ensuring we support the changing needs
of people affected by cancer.
* Following the sale of the building, we will lease a designated hub where we continue to deliver
counselling, therapies and other services.
* Look to strengthen the new board by appointing trustees within the health sector, finance, legal, HR and,
safeguarding and digital marketing skills
* Continue to generate new funding opportunities and incorporate new and innovative ways of working to
increase efficiencies and improve reporting, to meet the new challenges and funding mechanisms being
set.

Trustee's Annual Report
Results for the year
Income for the year ended 31 March 2024 was £545,244 (2023: £560,774). After expenditure of £604,160 (2023:
£581,995), net expenditure for the year was £58,916 (2023: £581,995). This resulted in the total value of funds
at 31 March 2024 being £958,258 (2023: £1,017,174) of which £31,409 (2023: £88,104) were unrestricted in
nature. Of these general funds at 31 March 2024, £926,854 is held in fixed assets.
Our principal restricted funding sources during the year have been NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board
(ICB) and Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The trustees would wish to extend their gratitude to all our
funders for their continuing support.
Reserves Policy
Trustees have considered the main risks to the organisation and in view of anticipated reduction of statutory
funding levels prudent financial management has been implemented and is ongoing throughout the year. This
will ensure that core activity can continue and increasing demand for support can be managed.
The Trustees have an established a policy whereby unrestricted funds neither committed nor invested in
tangible fixed assets (free reserves) held by the charity should be between four and nine months budgeted
expenditure, which amounts to £150,000 to £450,000. At 31 March 2024 the free reserves fell short of this
level at only £31,409. The sale of the building in March 2025 resulted in an increase in free reserves to cover in
excess of nine months running costs. Trustees are working on a financial strategy to ensure the charity
maintains an appropriate level of reserves, whilst continuing to deliver high standard services to our
beneficiaries.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The Charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and
fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable
company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
* select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
* observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
* make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
* state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
* prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charitable company will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group
and hence taking reasonable steps for prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information
included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## Accounting�Convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the Charities SORP "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 charity�is�a�Public�Benefit�Entity�as�defined�by�FRS�102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.�Monetary�amounts�in�these�financial�statements�are�rounded�to�the�nearest�£.
## Going�Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting�in�preparing�the�financial�statements.
## Charitable�Funds
Unrestricted�funds�are�available�for�use�at�the�discretion�of�the�trustees�in�furtherance�of�their� charitable�objectives.

## Cancer�Support�Yorkshire
## Year�Ended�31st�March�2024
## Notes�to�the�Financial�Statements
## Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income�will�be�received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant�is�recognised�at�the�time�of�the�donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known,�the�legacy�is�treated�as�a�contingent�asset.
Income from goods donated for sale by the charity is recognised at point of sale. As a result of the high volume of donated goods received by the charity, the cost of recognising these items�at�fair�value�on�receipt�would�outweigh�the�benefit�of�recognising�them�in�the�accounts.
Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity,�are�recognised�when�the�charity�becomes�unconditionally�entitled�to�the�grant.
The charity benefits greatly from the involvement and enthusiastic support of its many volunteers, details of which are given in our annual report. In accordance Charites SORP (FRS102),�the�economic�contribution�of�general�volunteers�is�not�recognised�in�the�accounts.
## Expenditure
Expenditure, which includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered, is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that�settlement�will�be�required�and�the�amount�of�the�obligation�can�be�measured�reliably.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the deliverance of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be directly allocated�to�such�activities�and�those�costs�of�an�indirect�nature�necessary�to�support�them.
Governance costs, included in support costs, include those costs incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements�and�are�allocated�to�charitable�activities.
## Cancer�Support�Yorkshire

## Notes�to�the�Financial�Statements
## Tangible�Fixed�Assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation,�net�of�depreciation�and�any�impairment�losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values�over�their�useful�lives�on�the�following�bases:
Freehold�buildings:�2%�straight�line
Furniture�and�equipment:�20%�Reducing�balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial�activities.
## Impairment�of�Fixed�Assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to�determine�the�extent�of�the�impairment�loss�(if�any).
## Cash�and�Cash�Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank�overdrafts�are�shown�within�borrowings�in�current�liabilities.
## Financial�Instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes�party�to�the�contractual�provisions�of�the�instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured�at�amortised�cost�using�the�effective�interest�method.
## Derecognition�of�Financial�Liabilities

## Notes�to�the�Financial�Statements
## Critical�Accounting�Estimates�and�Judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual�results�may�differ�from�these�estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision�affects�both�current�and�future�periods.
