Charitable Purposes The key charitable purpose of Action Cancer is to save lives and to support people and families directly or indirectly affected by cancer. The charity exists for the public benefit of citizens living primarily in N. Ireland. The strategic aims of the charity and the activities directed towards their achievement are detailed in this report. The achievements and measurable outputs of the charity's activities demonstrate very substantial and tangible benefits to the public in areas of breast and skin cancer detection, psychological I mental hea5th support and cancer awareness and prevention. All services are provided at their point of delivery free of charge. The charity's charitable purposes, as defined by the 2008 Northern Ireland Charities Act, are to., Protect health and wellbeing through the provision of services, equipment and facilities for the treatment and screening against cancer and allied diseases, particularly, but not wholly, in N. Ireland. The benefit from this purpose is the earlier detection of breast and skin cancers. All research proves that the earlier a cancer is detected, the higher the 5-year survivorship rate and the less aggressive and expensive the treatment path. Action Cancer is the only charity in the UK to provide a free breast screening service for women aged between 40 to 49 and 70 plus, aiming to screen approximately 7,500 women annually. To qualify women must have a N. Ireland Health and Social Care number, be registered with a GP in N. Ireland and not be Page15

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) eligible for breast screening under the Nl Breast Screening Programme. The breast cancer screening service is available from ACH in Belfast and on board the charity's 'Big Bus" which aims to travel annually to circa 175 rural and 'hard to reach" communities across the country. It is anticipated that for every 1,000 women screened, approximately 6 early stage breast cancers will be detected. Action Cancer is also the only charity in N. Ireland to provide a free skin cancer detection service which is available at ACH and onboard the Big Bus, aiming to carry out around 1,500 initial virtual assessments followed up by circa 1,000 face to face assessments. It is anticipated that circa 20 % of the people assessed faced to face will be directly referred into an HSC Trust for further assessment and of this cohort, circa 10 % will have a melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer. Health checks, for anyone above the age of 16 years old, are available at ACH and onboard the Big Bus and at workplace and community-based locations. The benefits of these services are captured through an ongoing process whereby all services are regularly audited, evaluated and assessed for impact and in relation to the Breast Screening service, the results of people referred into HSC secondary care are recorded, documented, analysed and audited. Provide helpy SUPPOrt and assistance through the development and provision of counselling, coaching, complementary therapies and similar interventions to people directly or indirectly affected by cancer, including children and young people. The service is accessible from ACH and at other locations across N. Ireland. Evaluations of the interventions provided clearly and consistently show that clients have an improved capacity to deal with the impact of cancer and related treatment. Specifically, our support interventions are proven to improve quality of life, aid sleep, reduce stress and anxiety and, depending on the intervention, can reduce pain, sickness and nausea. The charity captures the benefits of the service through an ongoing process of client feedback surveys. This data is recorded, documented, analysed and reported upon. The effectiveness of individual programmes is assessed and evaluated and the results are used to revise existing programmes or to develop new ones. Develop an awareness of cancer, its allied diseases and related illnesses through the provision of education, diagnostic services, equipment and facilities, the promotion and support of research and the dissemination of information. Most of the health information, promotion and awareness activity is delivered online and is thus accessible to a wide population. Very specific programmes have been developed for school children and workplaces aimed at educating on the causes of cancer and the steps that can be taken to reduce cancer risk and improve general health and wellbeing. Effect positive change to people living in N. Ireland through promotingy campaigning, lobbying and the general influencing of opinion formers, stakeholders and the general public on issues relating and pertaining to health and specifically cancer, its allied diseases and related illnesses. The charity continues individually and collaboratively to be active in promoting, campaigning and lobbying in relation to cancer and general health, including with the N. Ireland Executive Health Minister, relevant MLAS and senior Departmental and Trust officials. The benefit of this work is an increased awareness amongst the public of N. Ireland and influential stakeholders and opinion formers on the issues relating and pertaining to health and specifically cancer. Page16

Thorough examination and lots of useful information. Thanks for all your help and support. (Skin Cancer detection) What a brilliant service. Everyone should support Action Cancer. (Skin Cancer detection) l am so thankful to have this seNice, l am 47yrs old and know women under the age of 50 who have had breast cancer, some of whom have since lost their lives to the disease. It is very reassuring for me that this seNice is available. (Breast Screening) I found my counselling sessions to be extremely professional and caring. My counsellor was very trusting and sincere and caring which made me feel very at ease and I was able to work through my fears and worries. She helped me explore ways in which I can cope with my situation and also provided me with all the different seNices Action Cancer has to offer. (Counselling) What an invaluable seNice Action Cancer provides - Complimentary therapies, positive living program and life coaching. When I started my life coaching sessions, I was struggling to accept myself and see myself as whole after my cancer diagnosis treatment and the ongoing effects of same. My coach provided me with a safe space to express my feelings and concerns about how I am now in comparison lo how I was prior to my breast cancer experie17ce and to walk through how cancer has impacted my life. Being treated as a 'Person' rather than a 'Patient' made this process feel so much more personal than a cancer journey can feel and whilst baring your soul is certainly not a comfortable activity, my coach made me feel at ease each and every time we met. I cannot thank Action Cancer and my coach in particular enough, as without this service I do not believe I would be in the positive head space that l am in now. l am a suNivorll (Coaching) The holistic therapies I have received have been amazing. I have been sleeping better, my moods have been lifted, and I feel brighter and more relaxed. (Complementary Therapy) Having acupuncture has had an extremely positive impact on my life and my ability to make it through my 6 weeks of head and neck radiotherapy. Not only did the acupuncturist work on my saliva glands, but she also focussed on my pain levels, ability to sleep and my general wellbeing. The medical professionals were amazed at how healthy my mouth stayed during my treatment, and I firmly believe this was down to t17e acupuncture because my mouth remained healthy, I was able to speak, eat and drink which enabled me to remain out of hospital and recovery was much quicker following treatment.

A key environmental action for 202512026 is the completion of an environmental audit of ACH and the development of a strategy and actions to reduce the charity's carbon footprint. To facilitate this the charity has applied to the National Lottery under the Dormant Bank Account Sustainability Programme for assistance and financial support. Structure, Governance and Management The charity's principal governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which were last reviewed and approved by members at the charity's 2021 AGM and are next scheduled for review in 2026.

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) Management and staff The Chief Executive is responsible for managing the charity's day to day operations and resources on behalf of the Trustees. The Senior Management Team of the charity comprises the Chief Executive along with the Head of Finance and Administration, the Head of Fundraising and Communications and the Head of Professional Services. The Trustees recognise that the staff employed by the charity and the volunteers who assist in many activities across the whole charity are critical to its success and sustainability. The charity seeks to employ only the very best in each role and then to provide training and development opportunities to ensure that every staff member is competent and confident in what they do and appropriately developed to maximise their own personal potential. In 202412025 the charity employed an average of 72 persons (62 FTE) and availed of the services of circa 275 volunteers. It also engaged in the Dept of Communities Job Start scheme offering short term employment opportunities to 13 people in its retail division. Volunteers The trustees wish to acknowledge their sincere appreciation to all involved in the charity throughout the year particularly the many volunteers, who freely and regularly give of their time. The tasks undertaken by volunteers are many and include trusteeship, fundraising, stewarding at events, staffing of shops, peer mentoring, reception duties, gardening, etc. It is estimated that in 202412025 a total of 34,500 hours were contributed pro bono by 275 volunteers.

Governance - Principal Risks and Uncertainties - Risk Management At the February 2025 Council of Management meeting, the Trustees approved a new Risk Management Policy, the purpose of which is, to help manage risk which, if not assessed and managed, may impact on the charity's operations, financial resilience, reputation and sustainability. The policy's aim is to.. assess the Charity's appetite to embrace risk. provide guidance on the management of risk in order to protect charity beneficiaries, staff, volunteers, assets and reputation. highlight the importance of considering risk in strategic, financial. fundraising, service planning and project management. help embed across the whole of the charity a better understanding of risk, its management and collective and individual roles and responsibilities. The policy recognises that the ultimate responsibility for the management and control of the charity resides with the Trustees and as such, their involvement in the key aspects of the risk management process is essential, particularly in setting the parameters of the process and in the review and consideration of the results. The Trustees have delegated elements of the risk management process to the Chief Executive and management team, whilst ensuring that they, as Trustees, review and consider the key aspects of the process and results. The task of monitoring the charity's corporate governance systems and procedures is delegated to the Audit and Governance Committee. Prior to the commencement of each financial year the Audit and Governance Committee is required to review the charity's Risk Policy and Risk Management programme. Page | 15

Weighted score 16 (Amber). There were no health and safety nor vulnerable personslchild protection issues arising during the year requiring reporting to statutory and regulatory authorities, including the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. In June 2024 the charity's Boutique Retail store in Bangor, Co. Down was unfortunately destroyed in an arson attack resulting in alternative temporary premises in the City being acquired under a licence agreement. Following reinstatement, the store relocated back to its original premises in July 2025. The additional expense was largely compensated through insurance. Data Protection and Cyber Security The Trustees are very conscious of their responsibilities regarding the use and protection of data both in relation to client personal data and its use for fundraising and other activities. The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate systems, policies, processes and procedures are in place supported by adequate staff and volunteer training to ensure as far is possible, the charity is compliant with the requirements of GDPR 2018. To provide additional strength and assurance the charity's Client Information Management system (CID), its Breast Screening Reporting system and cyber security software and protocols were all further developed and enhanced during the year. As a measure of the controls and systems in place the Cyber Security Plus cerÉification first awarded in January 2023, was maintained throughout the year and successfully renewed in May 2025 for a further year.

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) Independent Auditors, Report to the members of Action Cancer Opinion We have audited the accounts of Action Cancer (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash flow statement and the notes to the accounts, 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 accounts.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended., have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including the FRC'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 group and charity'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. Other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the accounts and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the accounts 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. In connection with our audit of the accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts or our knowledge obtained in the audit or othenmise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify SLrch material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) there is a material misstatement in the accounts or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit: the information given in the Trustees Report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts., and the Trustee's Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Trustees 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 the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of Trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the accounts, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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 accounts. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company through enquiry of management, industry research and the application of cumulative audit knowledge. We identified the following principal laws and regulations relevant to the company - Companies Act 2006 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). Page | 19

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) We developed an understanding of the key fraud risks to the entity (including how fraud might occur), the controls in place to help mitigate those risks, and the accounts, balances and disclosures within the financial statements which may be susceptible to management bias. Our understanding was obtained through review of the financial statements for significant accounting estimates, analysis of journal entries, walkthrough of the key controls cycles in place and enquiry of management. Our procedures to respond to those risks identified included, but were not limited to.. Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims.

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) Notes to the Financial Statements As at 31st March 2025 l. Accounting Policies Action Cancer 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 note(s). The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: a) Basis of preparation: The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared a going concern basis" Despite the prevailing economic uncertainties and the current geo-political situation, given the strength of the charity's unrestricted reserves, liquidity position and the information available, the Trustees consider the going concern basis is the most appropriate basis. b) Recognition of Income: Non-Exchange income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, conditions attached to the item(s> of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Exchange Income relates to contracts with third parties. This income is recognised when any performance conditions attached to the contract have been met, the amount payable agreed and contractual entitlement to the income clear. Income received in respect of future expenditure is credited to a deferred income account and released to income in the period to which it relates. For legacies, income is recognised when 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. Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. c) Donated goods, facilities and services, including volunteers: They are recognised as income when the charity has control over them, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. The benefit in kind is recognised as income and a corresponding amount recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt. However, where it is difficult to determine a true and accurate economic value to the donate good or service, this is not recognised in financial terms in the accounts. As a result, the time committed by the charity's volunteers is not monetarised in the accounts but recognised in the Trustees, annual report for the significant and very invaluable contribution made by volunteers to the charity. 241Page

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) Notes to the Financial Statements As at 31st March 2025 d) 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 Bank. e) Fund Accounting: Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity's work. f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT: Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation for payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings.. Costs of raising funds comprise the cost of fundraising, trading activities and support costs. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of providing breast screening, health promotion and awareness, educational activities, therapeutic and other support services to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Under an agreement with HMRC a partial percentage of VAT is reclaimed on some items. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. g) Allocation of support costs: Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office, finance, human resources, payroll and governance costs which support the Charity's activities. These costs have been allocated between the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.d. h) Tangible Fixed and Right of Use Assets Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. It is policy not to depreciate freehold land. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset because of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset because of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash Page | 25

Action Cancer (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital) Notes to the Financial Statements As at 31" March 2025 inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight-line basis as follows.. Freehold buildings (excluding land value) Fixtures and fittings Computer equipment Mobile Unit (The Big Bus) X-Ray equipment Motor vehicles 2 % per annum 200/0 per annum 33/0 per annum 10% per annum 20 % per annum 25 % per annum i) Financial instruments and Investments: A financial asset or liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially recorded at their transaction value and are subsequently measured at market or actual values in the balance sheet. Any gains or losses on revaluation at the balance sheet date are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. j) Debtors: Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. k) Cash at bank and in hand: Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. i) stock: Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Action Cancer receives donated goods for resale. Due to the volume of low-value items and the absence of detailed stock record systems the value of these goods is recognised as income when sold. m) Creditors and provisions: Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. n) Pensions: Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution pension scheme administered through Standard Life. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in independently managed funds. The Pension Scheme is funded by contributions from the employee and employer. All employees are automatically enrolled into a stakeholder pension scheme, unless they have exercised their right to opt out of scheme membership. The charity contributes 6 % of salary to the pension scheme and acts as agent in collecting and paying over employee pension contributions. The contributions made by the charity for the 202412025 year and which have been treated as an expense were £131,357 (202312024 - £142,980). Page | 26
