REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024



The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are to relieve cancer patients, their family and friends, through the trauma, diagnosis and treatment of cancer by the provision of practical help and emotional support, and to further the knowledge and understanding of cancer, its treatment and its effects on individuals both clinically and psychologically.

Significant activities
In planning out activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. Furthermore, any activities undertaken, or services delivered were carried out in accordance with HM Government's and NHS guidance around the need to protect and safeguard individuals from any threat including the re-occurrence of Coronavirus.

We are a local charity providing bespoke 1-2-1 practical and emotional support to cancer patients and those who care for them. Services include home to hospital transportation, counselling including bereavement counselling, complementary therapies, peer support groups, health and social activities, information & support services including prevention and befriending support. All services are delivered by a small number of paid employees and a dedicated team of 51 volunteers.

With the exception of the transport service, which is available to Dudley residents or those registered with a Dudley GP only. Services are available to all cancer patients and those that care for them within the Dudley Metropolitan Borough and the surrounding areas of the Black Country.

Volunteers
During the period the charity received help from the following number of people:

WHITE HOUSE CANCER SUPPORT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07604847)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity continues to receive financial support from the Black Country Integrated Care Services (ICS) and local Integrated Care Board (ICB) (formally, Dudley Integrated Health Care (DIHC)) for the home to hospital transportation service. However, during the financial year the charity continued to receive further project funding to relieve seasonal pressures and support the emotional wellbeing of customers with our 1-2-1 counselling support service.

Furthermore we continued to receive funds to help progress work in addressing health inequalities in cancer services for various communities and such has been our success in this area, particularly with the Black Breast Matters campaign, that along with our colleagues from across the Black Country, we have presented our work and outcomes to the ICS, the ICB, The National Association of Breast Surgeons, Dudley's Health & Well-being Board, the local Integrated Commission Group and a national inequalities conference held in London.

Moving forward, we are to receive further funds from NHS Commissioners via Talking Therapies to continue to support the emotional well-being of those affected by a cancer diagnosis and help relieve some of the emotional pressures affecting cancer patients and their families. Health inequalities continues to be a high priority and across Dudley we continue to receive funds from Healthy Communities Together (HCT) to (a) continue our work in addressing inequalities not only for Black women and breast cancer but for all cancers and all communities in Dudley and (b) through the HCT programme to receive funding so that we may continue our work with health service partners and the community to raise greater awareness around all cancers and specifically lung cancer, which has become a priority for Dudley borough.

Further funds were raised during the period from the renting out of the lower ground floor area of the building to other charitable and voluntary organisation, and the sitting local Member of Parliament, Marco Longhi. All funds received from renting out areas of the building go towards supporting cancer patients, their carers and families through the support and services provided.


GDPR and Data Processing
The charity's cloud-based customer relationship management database (CRM) continues to be fully operational and has significantly reduced the need to retain paper-based records. The system meets national data protection requirements and is NHS approved.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The funds of the charity at 31 March 2024 were as follows:

£
General Fund (residue) 133,783
Designated Fund (for improvements) 225,000
Restricted Funds (various) 31,818
Endowment Fund -(property) 278,167
668,268



Financial deficits rolled over from previous years had been turned into a small surplus however, with the continued impact of the cost-of-living crisis, the expenditure for the charity practically tripling and a loss to our investment funds held by Brewin Dolphin, the surplus enjoyed at the end of the 2022 financial period soon turned into a deficit for the charity at year end 2023.

We still however continue to receive wide public support including regular donations from individuals, legacies, corporations etc., but again due mainly to increases in the cost of living, donations from many of our supporters due solely to personal reasons, has often been limited. The charity therefore, continues to seek alternative funds through various trusts and grants in relation to local projects however, this remains challenging with competition for these funds remaining great however, we have with partners, received funding from various grant making bodies much of the focus of which is in support of addressing health inequalities and supporting people through their emotional health difficulties therefore, despite tough competition for all funds, the charity has and continues to make efforts to bring in income from a variety of funding streams and as such we remain extremely grateful to all our funders and particularly to the Black Country ICB, Blackthorns Chartered Accountants and a variety of other sources and individuals for their continued support and donations in kind.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to have a negative impact on cancer patients and cancer waiting lists. Newly diagnosed patients generally tend to present in the latter stages of their cancer diagnosis and with cancer waiting times remaining high, treatment for many is delayed beyond government and NHS guidelines. Consequently, the charity is now supporting increased numbers of people who, for a variety of reasons, are now in the later stages of their cancer journey. Despite this, we remain committed to continuing to operate and to develop all our services to meet the growing need for support for all those affected by the disease.

Principal funding sources
The National Health Service locally has undergone many changes however, with respect to the commissioning of services, the focus is centred on both system and place-based services. This means that overall, services are now procured through the Black Country ICB. Cancer continues to be one of the main priorities of the health service, specifically breast cancer amongst certain communities and lung cancer for all communities and as a result, the charity has been actively involved in a range of commissioned and partnership work to help raise awareness and support those affected. White House Cancer Support transport services it still in receipt of an annual grant and continues to exceed all expectations. Demand for counselling services continues to grow and beside, ad-hoc grant funding we will be striving to have this service commissioned at some stage in the future especially as we continuously receive referrals from various NHS bodies.

Throughout the period, we received funds for a range of project work from the Black Country ICB relating to project work around inequalities and mental health however, overall the majority of our funds still come by way of the general public and corporate donations we thank companies such as Blackthorns Chartered Accountants and others for their support throughout the period.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The Memorandum & Articles of Association for the charity authorise the trustees to make and hold investments using general funds of the charity. Accordingly, legacies received in recent years are invested through Brewin Dolphin, based in Birmingham, on behalf of the charity and its members, and continue to earn higher returns than would be gained through investing the funds with High Street Banks.

Reserves policy
It is board policy to attempt to maintain a cash reserve equivalent to at least a year's potential expenditure.

Going concern
The charity has no potential problems in continuing its activities in the medium term and has reserves available to meet and address any contingencies that may occur. However, it is envisaged that the cost-of-living impact will continue to cause a crisis in funding for some period to come and may again cause a reduction to our investments and the amount the charity earns. Furthermore, again as a result of the continuing impacts on living and financial standards, there is likely to be limitations on funds received from both public and corporate donations. All of which is at a time when moving forward, the charity will, due to the backlog in cancer treatments etc., see a greater demand for support.

FUTURE PLANS
The charity will continue to extend its area of operation and in accordance with client demand, will diversify and expand service provision. Our contract for the transport service has recently been renewed by the Black Country ICB.

In addition, due to the success of our recent emotional wellbeing partnership and inequality projects, we are currently awaiting to receive further funding from both the Black Country ICB and the Healthy Communities Together Partnership for funds to support the emotional well-being of those affected by cancer. In respect of the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), we continue in the role of lead organisation, all of which is linked into the Healthy Communities Together work and moving forward, the partnership is now moving into phase 3 of spreading learning and good practice to other parts of the Black Country. We will continue to work closely with health and voluntary sector colleagues to address health inequalities for all and have made great strides with the ladies from the Black African & Caribbean communities living in Dudley, and moving forward, we expect more of this work to continue and especially in support of a wide range of communities and particularly with people with learning disabilities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is controlled by its governing document, Articles of Association (amended pursuant to a special resolution dated 16 September 2014), and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting
Designated funds are funds that the trustees have designated for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Donated goods
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, 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. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised in the the financial statements. Further information regarding their contribution is included in the Trustees' Annual Report.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity 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.


Investments
Investments are shown at fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held on call at banks.

Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Liabilities in the accounts are for costs arising in the year that were unpaid at the balance sheet date.

Going Concern
The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis as the charity has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for more than the next 12 months.
