PRESIDENT’S REPORT
I am pleased to present the Waikato/Bay
of Plenty Cancer Society’s Annual Report
for 2014/2015; a financial year in which
our focus was on connecting better with
our communities, identifying needs and
finding solutions within budget, raising our
profile, and developing and delivering even
more services and programmes across the
demographic spectrum.
The year was once again one of change, but I see change as
positive. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Without continual growth
and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and
success have no meaning.” He was right.
Change often provides the catalyst to try something new and,
maybe, discover a better way of doing things. Change can provide
a solution to a problem, it requires us to be more innovative, and it
can pave a new path.
After the Kathleen Kilgour Centre opened in October 2014 we
experienced a decrease in occupancy at the Cancer Society’s
Lions Lodge in Hamilton. This decrease was not unexpected. The
Kathleen Kilgour Centre meant our clients in Tauranga, Whakatane
and other parts of the Bay of Plenty could have their cancer
treatment locally, without the need to travel to Hamilton or stay
away from home.
Over the past year, I have continued my role as divisional
representative on the Cancer Society of New Zealand Board
ensuring the operations of the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division are
in line with our national strategic direction. The theme of change
continued at national office with the appointment of a new
national office chief executive, Claire Austin. Claire has 18 years’
leadership experience as a chief executive in the New Zealand
and Australian health sectors particularly in rural and primary care,
and brings a strong track record of strategic leadership, building
capacity, policy advice, and community consultation. Claire is
extremely supportive of our work in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty.
I want to acknowledge and thank our division’s chief executive
Judy Gould for her dedication, commitment and contribution
to the Cancer Society. Judy has been the driving force behind
many new initiatives and programmes, and instrumental in
taking community services and health promotion education and
activities beyond the main centres and out to the small and rural
communities across the division.
I would also like to thank our wonderful staff, donors, sponsors,
volunteers, community fundraisers, and organisations who work
alongside us so we can continue to provide free support, services,
and programmes to people who need them.
Once again it has been both a privilege and a pleasure to fulfil
the role of president of the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society
executive committee.
That change also led to an increase in our volunteer driving
service in Tauranga as more people requested transport to get
to their treatment at the Kathleen Kilgour Centre. This is a case of
change in one area creating new opportunities in another.
We experienced change within the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer
Society executive committee with the resignation of Dr Peter
Rothwell who served on the committee from August 2011
to September 2014. Peter was also a member of the Medical
Advisory Subcommittee from August 2006 to 2014 and for the last
three years was chair of this subcommittee.
Peter is a retired Waikato Hospital physician, highly respected
for his innovation and service in several key areas. He was a key
player in the establishment of the Waikato Medical Research
Foundation, and the Peter Rothwell Academic Centre bears his
name. The executive committee has the greatest of respect for
Peter. He served the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society and our
communities well, and I thank him.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT
It’s been an exciting year for the Waikato/
Bay of Plenty Division of the Cancer Society
as we’ve gone from strength to strength in
every area of our work.
The Cancer Society of New Zealand remains one of the country’s
most trusted, long established, and best known charities. This
reputation keeps us in an enviable position; with hundreds of
charities in New Zealand it’s becoming increasingly difficult to
compete for donor dollars. As a charity, we are constantly looking
at ways to improve what we do, provide more services, and
support more people, but we can only achieve this by remaining
innovative and competitive. It is a constant balancing act, but we
are succeeding.
Our new building at 111 Cameron Road, Tauranga opened
after Christmas, and our Tauranga-based staff are enjoying the
new space and modern facilities. Clients and external groups
have commented on the lovely, open feel and say it’s a huge
improvement on what we had. We still offer the same range
of health promotion, administration, fundraising support, and
community services from our Tauranga office, but have expanded
the volunteer driving service to support the increased demand
for volunteer drives since the Kathleen Kilgour Centre opened in
October.
Following on from the previous year’s “rebrand” of support
services into community services, the team has kept their focus
squarely on the client – delivering programmes that address
client needs, enhancing the lives of the people we support,
and creating exceptional client experiences. We have extended
our reach across the Waikato/Bay of Plenty in all areas including
home visits, Living Well programmes, and nurse-led support
groups. The expansion in community services is backed up by
statistics including a 19% increase in referrals to the liaison nurse
service. It is good to see the majority of those referrals have
come from health professionals, which highlights our developing
relationships with stakeholders and practitioners.
This year in health promotion we continued to develop and
deliver programmes that address inequalities, with the launch
of a programme that specifically targets Māori and Pacific Island
men. Stand up, Bro was successfully trialled in Te Kuiti at the end
of 2014, and with strong stakeholder support is on track to be
delivered in other locations across the division in the coming year.
This division continues to lead the country in terms of the
number of primary schools accredited in the SunSmart Schools
Accreditation Programme (SSAP). By the end of the financial year
we had accredited 63% of eligible schools, so our goal of 80%
accreditation by 2016 is definitely within reach.
Our division’s unique health promotion resources, Undercover
Cody and the colossal colon, continue to steal the show wherever
they go. Undercover Cody gained hundreds of new fans during
his 2014 book tour of early childhood centres and primary schools,
and at beach promotions. The colossal colon is often requested
by businesses and organisations for their workplace health and
wellness days.
Our volunteering function in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty had a
name change to volunteer development, which better illustrates
the professionalism of our volunteers, and the strength of our
commitment to them. Working towards best practice, our
volunteer development manager strengthened our volunteer
recruitment pathways, redeveloped training procedures, and
invigorated the inductions. We have also engaged more with our
volunteers this year to ensure they feel supported, listened to, and
appreciated.
We continue to receive wonderful feedback from guests who
stayed at the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge, and their families and
carers. As expected, our bed nights dropped for a time following
the opening of the Kathleen Kilgour Centre in Tauranga.
Once again Daffodil Day received tremendous support in our
division, bringing in a record $700,909. The wonderful branch
staff of our Major Sponsor and Daffodil Day Principal Sponsor ANZ
contributed $214,819 of the total divisional Daffodil Day income.
We are truly grateful to everyone who supported us, made a
donation, or purchased a daffodil in the street appeal or a bunch
of daffodils in the pre-sale, for making this event such a success.
Relay For Life moved to Mystery Creek Event Centre and feedback
indicated the new venue was a success.This year we held just one
Relay For Life event in the division; and by focusing on the one
event we were able to elevate it to new heights, raising just over
$210,000.
This year the Cancer Society of New Zealand launched its new
website, www.cancernz.org.nz, which offers a clean and modern
design, is easy-to-navigate, and provides comprehensive
information on topics related to cancer and the Cancer Society’s
services. The new site also provides greater functionality around
the donate journey so that people who want to donate – whether
as a one off or on a regular basis – can do so easily.
This past year we have donated over $540,000 towards cancer
research both nationally and on a local level. Local support

WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY DIVISION CANCER SOCIETY NEW ZEALAND INC ANNUAL REPORT 2015
CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT
includes $67,265 to the Waikato Breast Cancer Trust and
$17,000 to the Care Community Trust. We have also donated
$10,804 in special grants to health professionals for professional
development. We continue to fund Dr Michael Jameson and his
team as they conduct research focused on benefiting cancer
patients in this region now and in the future, to the value of
$86,000. Dr Jameson was also the recipient of the $10,000 Alan
Lomas Memorial Grant.
I’d like to extend my deepest thanks to the Lions Clubs of
Districts 202L and 202K. The Lions have been fundraising for
the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge since 2010 and so far have
raised an incredible $1,891,523 towards their goal of $3 million.
We sincerely thank every Lion and Lioness who has given their
time, energy and compassion to help fundraise for this amazing
accommodation facility. Thank you too to the Riverside Lionesses
for their wonderful baking for guests at the Lodge, adding to the
“home away from home” experience for people going through
cancer treatment.
Thank you to all our wonderful sponsors, supporters, donors,
volunteers, fundraisers and staff. You all make what we do
possible, and I continue to be humbled by your efforts.
Each year, we have hundreds of decisions to make both at an
operational and strategic level, so I am extremely grateful to have
the governance support, guidance and leadership of Murray
Loewenthal and our executive committee. They help to ensure
that while we remain forward-thinking, we don’t lose sight of the
things that have helped make us one of the most trusted charities
in New Zealand.

COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT
SUPPORTING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER IN THE COMMUNITY
The liaison nurse service continues to grow from strength to
strength and is an integral part of our community services support
to people with cancer and their family/whānau and friends in this
division. We welcomed two new nurses to the Tauranga office and
one to the Hamilton office. Each new liaison nurse has brought
immense skills and a working knowledge of supporting people
to enable them to hit the ground running, and contribute to an
already highly effective and professional liaison nurse team.
With the greater emphasis on connecting with our communities
this year, the liaison nurses have increased the number of home
visits, Living Well programmes, and contact with our clients
overall. Over 200 people across the region attended Living Well
programmes during the year. Living Well is a Cancer Society
education and support programme that offers people with
cancer practical ways to enhance their wellbeing and build their
knowledge, self help skills, and confidence wherever they are in
their cancer journey. Expert speakers cover a wide range of topics,
and participants benefit from being with a group of people who
are going through similar experiences to their own.
We have continued to support bi-cultural initiatives across the
region such as Kia ora E te iwi with programmes delivered in
Waharoa, Te Kuiti and Ngaruawahia by locally trained facilitators.
Kia ora E te iwi was officially launched in 2012, and is the Māori
version of the Living Well programme. In June, the facilitators of
Kia ora E te iwi attended facilitation training coordinated by the
Cancer Society.
We regularly receive wonderful feedback from clients attending
our programmes and groups including:
“Just keep doing what you are doing. Very
informative, caring, lightheartedness.
Thank you so much.”
“The overall response was enthusiastic,
positive, and whānau were receptive to the
information received.” Mary Aust – Kia ora E te iwi
“The wairua here is excellent, it makes me
feel peaceful.”
“I feel I can cope better now.”
“I have been on this programme before and
loved it but this is even better.”
We have seen an overall increase in referrals to the liaison nurse
service of 19%. The liaison nurses continue to network in the
communities and also to engage with district health boards and
local medical contacts to lift their profile and develop community
awareness of their role. Their success in lifting this profile was
evident with approximately 65% of total referrals coming from
health professionals.
The way that cancer treatment is delivered across our region also
changed in 2014 with the opening of the Kathleen Kilgour Centre
in Tauranga. This saw the transition of radiation oncology services
from Waikato District Health Board to Bay of Plenty District Health
Board. The transition of patient care and services ran smoothly as
agreed transition processes were followed. Liaison nurses regularly
meet with the Kathleen Kilgour Centre team to ensure that
support and services are in place for those clients now receiving
their oncology treatment in Tauranga.
With the appointment of a new exercise programme coordinator
in late 2014, there was a revamp to the programmes delivered
previously. The new programmes focus on therapeutic movement
and everyday exercise opportunities, with this new range of
programmes being delivered from the Cancer Society’s Lion’s
Lodge. Programmes are also specifically developed for individuals
to take away and do in their own homes. These programmes and
classes are intended to motivate individuals towards an active
lifestyle, and assist patients in decreasing their cancer fatigue and
pain.
The therapeutic massage services across the region have
undergone some changes. Tauranga’s massage service moved
offsite late 2014 while building works in the new Tauranga office
continued. All clients seen during this time indicated they were
grateful to have been able to access this service during their
cancer treatment. Massage was reinstated into the Rotorua office
after a short hiatus and therapeutic massage has now been set
up in the Taupo region. Feedback received from massage clients
continue to be very positive with many indicating it assisted
immensely with their treatment.

CANCER SOCIETY’S LIONS LODGE REPORT
Situated on the corner of Lake Road and Tainui Street in Hamilton, the Cancer
Society’s Lions Lodge was officially opened on February 26, 2011 by the Rt Hon
Sir Anand Satyanand, Governor-General of New Zealand.
The Lodge is an accommodation facility,
providing 55 purpose-built bedrooms, the
majority of which are king-single ensuite rooms.
There are also a limited number of self-catering
twin rooms and family units available to people
who need a support person or have dependants.
Five motel-style units are available seven days for
guests from the Tairawhiti region.
to receive support from our knitters who provide
beanies and socks to our guests.
We have an exercise coordinator who offers
one-on-one and group fitness and exercise
sessions, and two (job share) therapeutic
massage therapists. A manicurist comes in one
day a week and Wigs by Hair Creations are on-site
every Tuesday and on request. The Look Good
Feel Better programme is run every second
Wednesday.
The Lodge could not operate without the
fantastic generosity of so many people, and we
are grateful to everyone who supports the facility
and our guests in some way.
The Lodge operates with a small team of paid
staff and relies on volunteers to provide a wide
range of support services across different areas.
We have a driving service which takes guests
to and from treatment at the Waikato Regional
Cancer Centre.
We are fortunate to receive generous ongoing
support from groups, organisations and
individuals. We are very grateful to Lions clubs
from Districts 202L and 202K who have continued
to fundraise for us this financial year. Their efforts
and donations are so appreciated.
Thanks to a generous donation by the Caiger
Charitable Trust we have been able to maintain
the Michael Caiger Library and purchase more
resources, and guests continue to comment that
the library is a lovely space in which to relax.
The Lodge provides a “home away from home”
for people going through cancer treatment,
so we are grateful for the delicious baking
that Hamilton’s Riverside Lionesses and other
individual volunteers bring in weekly for the
guests. Every lovely biscuit and piece of cake
adds to this homely feel. We have also continued
Guests at the Lodge are treated to a variety of
entertainment - each week we are able to hold a
DVD afternoon thanks to a volunteer who brings
in DVDs, and twice a week a pianist comes to the
Lodge to play the piano for our guests.

HEALTH PROMOTION REPORT
This year has seen exciting developments in our health promotion team. In line with our
strategic plan we have grown the SunSmart Schools Accreditation Programme (SSAP) to 63%
accredited schools, which puts us well on track to accredit 80% of schools to the programme
by 2016. We also appointed a men’s health promoter to work in the areas of tobacco control
and men’s health.
Our team continues to develop and deliver quality programmes,
resources and initiatives to people of all ages in our communities.
SunSmart
The SunSmart grant scheme was finalised this year. Started in
2012, this was an ambitious scheme that saw $300,000 worth
of shade funding made available to primary and intermediate
schools in the region, following research that indicated the cost for
shade posed a major barrier to schools in implementing SunSmart
policies and procedures. This funding helped support the work we
do in accrediting our schools across the region and assisting them
in implementing SunSmart practices on a daily basis.
We are particularly pleased that we assisted a number of low
decile schools in achieving new permanent and portable shade,
as well as providing hats and sunscreen and developing initiatives
to assist them in making better use of existing, under-utilised
shade at their schools.
The Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division continues to lead the way with
the most SunSmart accredited schools in the country. This year
we accredited 18 schools, bringing our total of accredited schools
to 63%. The SSAP is made fun and accessible with our divisional
mascot, Undercover Cody, who continues to delight and enthral
pre and primary school children across the region. October saw
the launch of Undercover Cody’s book tour to promote Hiss, Pop,
Splat; an A3 shared reading resource that presents SunSmart
messages to young children in a fun, easy-to-understand and
entertaining format.
We visited the schools that were successful in receiving shade
funding, as well as previously unaccredited and newly accredited
schools. In total we visited 87 schools and three early childhood
education centres (ECEs) from 10 November to 3 December.
Feedback from the schools was very positive. A follow-up survey of
participating schools indicated that the majority of schools rated
presenter-student engagement, professionalism of the presenters,
and usefulness of the material, as “very good” – our top score.
Between 27 December and 10 January following the successful
roadshow, two of the division’s SunSmart ambassadors headed to
market days and events in the Coromandel area and the popular
WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY DIVISION CANCER SOCIETY NEW ZEALAND INC ANNUAL REPORT 2015
HEALTH PROMOTION REPORT
Whangamata, Mount Maunganui, Hahei, Cooks Beach, Tairua and
Pauanui beaches for Undercover Cody beach promotions. The
ambassadors dispensed more than 20 litres of sunscreen to beach
and event-goers, handed out Undercover Cody resources, and ran
SunSmart beach games for hundreds of children who were also
treated to appearances by Undercover Cody. The Cancer Society
received $1,469 from donations and sales.
Free sunscreen was also given to teenagers, parents and
supporters at the 2015 Aon Maadi Cup Regatta at Lake Karapiro
in March. This was the Cancer Society’s inaugural presence at the
Maadi Cup - New Zealand’s largest and most colourful rowing
regatta, which this year attracted 2,196 pupils from 122 schools
entered in 1,622 crews.
In addition to giving away free sunscreen, UV beads and bracelets
and promoting our SunSmart message, our ambassadors and
volunteers ran SunSmart quizzes and set up a SunSmart photo
booth which proved very popular with the young rowers and
their friends.
We were thrilled to end the year’s SunSmart activity on an
extremely positive note. Having received the first of two
consignments of sunscreen from national office, our team
coordinated the distribution and delivery of the free sunscreen
to 117 decile 1-4 schools – a total of 7,339 bottles – across the
Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
Tobacco Control
Our ongoing work in tobacco control included working with local
government and businesses, and advocating for policy change.
We continued to promote Hamilton City Council’s smokefree
outdoor policies and began working with the University of
Waikato to plan a series of promotions to highlight the city’s
smokefree areas.
tobacco taxation and plain packaging, can all help reduce the
youth uptake of smoking.
We continue to focus on protecting children from exposure to
tobacco marketing in all its many forms. The evidence would
suggest this is working, with reductions in smoking (and youth
smoking) rates, but we still have a long way to go to achieve the
Smokefree 2025 goal that the Cancer Society, the government
and other agencies have pledged to, and where less than 5% of
the population will be smokers.
Men’s health
The appointment of a new men’s health promoter has led to
the development of a programme, ‘Stand up, Bro’, aimed at
our highest priority group of men - Māori and Pacific Island
men, who are 50% more likely than non-Māori men to die from
cancer, according to the most recent Ministry of Health statistics
(2011, published 2014). This programme and our work in the
community focus on reducing inequalities and improving health
literacy among this priority group.
We successfully piloted the division’s first ‘Stand up, Bro’ programme
in Te Kuiti with 17 men attending. Our men’s health promoter
facilitated the kaupapa Māori, 10 week programme which
addressed the main health areas with five focus points: tone up
(exercise), fresh up (nutrition), give up (smoking cessation), head up
(kaitiaki support), and check up (check up and screening).
The pilot was independently evaluated by the Waikato District
Health Board (Population Health evaluators). The results were
positive, with indications that the men all achieved at least one of
their baseline goals, and fitness levels increased. Ninety percent
of the men indicated they would attend screening with a health
provider, compared to only 30% at the start.
We surveyed businesses in Tokoroa’s Leith Place in February to
assess general support for a voluntary smokefree outdoor policy
ban. Despite the wide variety of businesses, some of which
would be more affected by a ban than others – for example pubs,
the TAB, food outlets and cafes - there was 58% support for a
voluntary ban on smoking outdoors in Leith Place.
Fieldays 2014 involved a promotion of the ‘Get the Tools’ resources,
the Health Pledge and Facebook page/website which encouraged
visitors to the site to get checked by their general practitioner
and also think about one thing they might like to change about
their health status. Despite some awful weather, the site was well
attended and we enjoyed the positive interaction with the many
hundreds of visitors to our Rural Living site.
We presented this information to South Waikato District Council,
and included the sports and recreation areas as potential areas
to expand the existing smokefree playground policies. We
continue to work with councils around our region to advocate
for smokefree spaces so that children grow up in smokefree
environments, where smoking is de-normalised, and for a future
with less cancer. Research shows this approach, along with
The division’s colossal colon resource continues to be in demand
with planned events and requests for the colon’s attendance at
staff wellness days at businesses and companies including Inland
Revenue, Hamilton Girls’ High School, and Fonterra. We also
displayed the colon at the 2015 Relay For Life alongside stands of
local service providers that we had invited to take part in a mini
Relay For Life health expo as part of the bigger event.

FUNDRAISING REPORT
We continue to be inspired by the innovative
ways our supporters raise vital funds to
assist those affected by cancer in our local
communities.
As the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division of the Cancer Society
receives no direct government funding, our supporters are
starting to think outside the square and looking for new ways to
fundraise for the ever important donor dollar. This is becoming
even more important with the growing number of charities and
not-for-profit organisations vying for essential fundraiser support.
We have just started to see a real growth in the popularity of
community fundraising as our supporters take fundraising
opportunitites into their own hands. Head shaves, a Valentine’s
Day singles charity ball and a 24-hour solo bike challenge are
just a few examples of how people’s enthusiasm and passion to
support the Cancer Society has led to financial reward.
A shift in donor giving preferences to online methods has meant
that an investment into the Everyday Hero online fundraising
platform has been timely. A safe, easy and fast way to raise funds
from friends, family and colleagues, this tool is being used well,
in conjunction with popular social media, to share personal
fundraising stories. Triggering a donor’s emotions has long been
proven as one of the key factors to fundraising success, therefore
Everyday Hero enables us to take donors on a journey that leads
to a higher level of giving.
Everyday Hero has also enabled the effective and efficient
processing of donations. The money raised comes straight to the
Cancer Society, donors are receipted automatically and personal
information is transferred directly into our donor management
system, enabling us to communicate with these donors about
how their money has helped us make a difference in their local
community.
Four direct mail appeals were sent this financial year, with a
combined income of $392,984. Our newsletter With Your Help
is an effective way to keep our donors up to date with what
is happening in the division, highlighting community and
support services, health promotion activities and fundraising
achievements. Bringing to life how our services provide hope to
so many has been a great way to sing our organisational praises,
and let people know what we actually do. We hope to continue
this standardised communication moving forward, as well as
segmenting our donor database to make our communication
with donors more relevant.

Daffodil Day continues to be a hugely successful fundraising
campaign that is the envy of many charities around New Zealand.
Our longstanding relationship with our Major Sponsor and
Daffodil Day Principal Sponsor ANZ means we continue to be
supported by branch staff around the country who are committed
to raising the event’s profile, and vital funds, in aid of the Cancer
Society. By selling merchandise, organising golf tournaments,
cake sales and sausage sizzles, Daffodil Day provides an excellent
opportunity for ANZ staff to demonstrate corporate social
responsibility. We were overwhelmed when ANZ contributed
$214,819 to the division’s overall Daffodil Day income of $700,909.
Identifying areas for development is essential for the sustainable
financial growth of Daffodil Day. This year we focused on the
growth of our pre-sale campaign, where bunches of fresh daffodils
are sold to businesses to display in their workplace to show their
support of the Cancer Society in the week of Daffodil Day. Sales
increased by 29.24% compared to the previous year, with Clandon
Daffodils in Gordonton supplying over 160,000 fresh daffodils in
one week to meet our needs for this initiative.
It is an impressive sight to see the different varieties of daffodils,
and more importantly the joy they bring to the hundreds of
businesses, and their customers, in the region. Daffodil Day 2015
will mark the 25th anniversary of this iconic event, and it will be
exciting to see the milestone celebrations of our annual flagship
appeal.

FUNDRAISING REPORT
Relay For Life Hamilton was held on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8
March, 2015 at a new venue, the Heritage Village at Mystery
Creek Events Centre. The venue is well established with
excellent facilities, and the picturesque settings created a serene
environment to celebrate, remember and fight back. Eighty
teams took part in the event, with 100 tent sites occupied. A total
of 1,279 participants registered, with team sizes varying greatly
from 10 members through to our largest team from Te Awamutu
College which had 110 students.
A total of $210,420 was raised from the event including team
fundraising, merchandise sales and sponsorship. Online
fundraising and in particular Everyday Hero was a hugely popular
method of team fundraising, contributing $105,482 to the overall
income. Sponsorship including in-kind, cash and grants totalled
$35,500. The continued support of longstanding sponsors
including Maggy’s Catering, St John, The Southern Trust and NZ
Sound Reinforcement, along with new relationships including
Velox Security, Mediaworks and Mystery Creek Events Centre,
ensured our operating costs were kept to a minimum.
The American Cancer Society has reviewed our Relay For Life
license, and in 2016 we will be presented with greater flexibility in
the event structure, including the choice of a six-hour, 12-hour, or
18 to 24-hour heritage model. These options will appeal to a wider
audience, and we are excited about the potential this new format
brings.
We are thankful for the support we receive in both financial
and time investment by donors, sponsors and our fundraising
volunteers. Without these ambassadors promoting the Cancer
Society within the community, we would not be as fortunate as
we are to receive such overwhelming support.

VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT REPORT
This year our conversations with volunteers,
information sessions and recruitment drives
across the division have given us a better
understanding of the needs of people
wanting to volunteer for the Cancer Society.
Volunteer development is more future-oriented than ever before,
and our needs for effective volunteers are higher than ever, in
order to fully deliver our services on an operational level.
We currently have around 350 volunteers who donate their time
on a regular basis providing support to those affected by cancer.
This number increases significantly during Daffodil Day to in
excess of 700.
Our regular volunteers are involved in the driving service;
providing support to those affected by cancer in local
communities; supporting guests staying at the Cancer Society’s
Lions Lodge; running support groups in local communities; and
providing a friendly face as well as tea and coffee in oncology
reception at Waikato Hospital’s Regional Cancer Centre and the
chemotherapy day unit at Thames Hospital.
While many volunteers are engaged in directly supporting those
affected by cancer, many more provide assistance to some of our
other functions. This year our team continued to work closely
with fundraising, health promotion, and community services. In
February and March we recruited more than 100 new volunteers,
predominantly students, to assist the health promotion team with
their events.
While some volunteers are keen to have a regular weekly or
fortnightly commitment, we see an increasing number of people
of all ages wanting to fit volunteering around an already busy
lifestyle and we are finding ways to support this. Our flexi volunteer
roles have provided good opportunities for these volunteers.
Prior to Christmas we hosted a number of volunteer events
around the region in appreciation of our volunteers and the work
they do. Several of the division’s managers and staff attended
these functions to show their gratitude.
WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY DIVISION CANCER SOCIETY NEW ZEALAND INC ANNUAL REPORT 2015
VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT REPORT
This year we continued to provide a volunteer driving service
out of oncology reception at Waikato Hospital with more visible
Cancer Society branding. This enabled patients attending
treatment at the hospital to have an increased awareness of and
access to the services we offer. All new patients are now registered
with the driving service so that our community services team is
able to offer them further support should they wish to receive it.
With the opening of the Kathleen Kilgour Centre in Tauranga the
demand for our driving service in the Tauranga area has increased.
This year we appointed a volunteer driving coordinator to work
out of our new Tauranga premises. We are seeing a steady increase
in the number of people requiring transport to treatment. A
number of new drivers were recruited in the Bay of Plenty to meet
these increasing needs.
For several years we have been fortunate to have groups of
volunteers based in many rural areas of the Waikato/Bay of
Plenty. They offer support in a number of ways from providing
a listening ear (often for local people when they first receive
their cancer diagnosis), driving clients to treatment, and giving
much appreciated practical assistance to those in need. Many
also host regular support group meetings for people affected by
cancer. A number of these volunteers have been supporting us
for years and have been some of the Cancer Society’s greatest
ambassadors.
Volunteer services have been revamped in some areas across the
division; notably Thames, Whakatane, Paeroa and Morrinsville.
While we have had many long-serving volunteers over the years in
some of these areas, our conversations with volunteers and clients
provided a clearer picture of where we needed new, or additional,
volunteer support.
From recruitment drives and information sessions we successfully
recruited new volunteers to key roles in areas where Cancer
Society services are developing, including seven oncology
support volunteers to work in the Thames Hospital chemotherapy
day unit, drivers in Whakatane; and volunteers to provide support
to the increasing number of younger clients at a nurse-led
therapeutic group in Paeroa.
We recently farewelled Mary Skidmore from her sole volunteer
role in the Thames chemotherapy unit after 10 years where she
had provided exceptional and loyal service. We are grateful for the
ongoing relationship that the Cancer Society has with the Thames
Community Cancer Support Group.
Our long-standing support group in Morrinsville welcomed three
new volunteers in February. With increased liaison nurse activity
in this area, the group has been expanded to offer a range of
volunteer support to the community. This will now include a
range of practical supports and a monthly support meeting which
has more therapeutic input from the liaison nurses.
This year we worked closely with the communications team to
redevelop and refresh our volunteer-orientated communications
including information pamphlets. People attending our volunteer
training at the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge have commented on
the quality, and usefulness, of our volunteer collateral.

SUPPORTING RESEARCH AND CANCER
PROFESSIONALS
Every year, medical researchers seek support for
a variety of cancer research projects. This year the
Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division committed more
than $540,000 to regional and national research.
This included our continuing support of Dr Michael
Jameson, consultant medical oncologist at Waikato
Hospital, and his team as they develop and
undertake clinical cancer research including:
Effects of different types of selenium on
breast cancer with BRCA gene mutations
Dr Jameson and Dr Linda Peters supervised
University of Waikato Master of Science students
Kirsty Mayall and Annie Ko, and University of
Auckland medical student Holly Sprosen, in this
laboratory research project at Waikato University
into whether organic forms of selenium offered
protection against breast cancer in women who
carry the BRCA1 gene mutation, without increasing
DNA damage. Previous research had found that a
selenium salt called selenite increased the risk.
Role of cimetidine in immune
surveillance after colorectal cancer
surgery
It appears cimetidine, an old ulcer-healing drug,
plays a role in protecting the immune system after
major surgery for colorectal cancers that haven’t
spread from their original site (non-metastatic), and
also takes away the “landing sites” for any cancer
cells that enter the bloodstream.
Analysis of results of a randomised placebocontrolled trial with 127 patients is encouraging,
with fewer relapses in patients taking cimetidine.
These results were submitted for presentation at
the European Society for Medical Oncology World
Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer in Barcelona
in July 2015. The next step would be to prove the
benefits hold up in a much larger randomised
phase 3 trial, which could involve collaboration
between the Australasian Gastrointestinal Cancer
Trials Group and similar groups in Canada and
Europe.
Use of cimetidine to prevent blood
vessels from helping melanoma cells to
spread
This collaborative project with the Departments
of Plastic Surgery (Mr Michael Woodfield) and
Ophthalmology (Mr Stephen Ng) looks at one of
the mechanisms by which melanoma cancer cells
can spread elsewhere in the body. This is through
certain molecules on the cells’ surface that stick
onto specific “adhesion molecules” on the lining of
the blood vessels.
This project will look at 80 patients whose
melanomas spread to the local glands or
elsewhere in the body (called metastatic disease)
and whether those melanoma cells that spread
elsewhere have these specific surface molecules.
If this is the case then cimetidine could potentially
take away these “landing sites” on the lining of
the blood vessels and block the spread of those
melanoma cells. Clinical trials would then be
conducted in patients with high-risk melanoma to
try to prevent recurrence.
Simvastatin to prevent radiationinduced skin toxicity in breast cancer
patients
Dr Shibu Joseph, an advanced trainee in radiation
oncology, tested whether the cholesterol-lowering
drug simvastatin can prevent skin inflammation
caused by radiation. The preliminary results in 80
patients suggested it was not helpful in preventing
the acute inflammation for radiotherapy but
further follow-up is planned to see if it prevents
late effects.
Effect of simvastatin on tumour size
in rectal cancer patients undergoing
treatment
Rectal cancer patients from Australia and New
Zealand will be randomised to take either
simvastatin or a placebo each day for three
months. Dr Jameson and Dr Elliot Brenman, an
advanced medical oncology trainee, will look
at how much the tumour decreases in size with
combined chemotherapy or radiation when
simvastatin or a placebo is added. A grant to
support this study was awarded by the Cancer
Society of New Zealand in 2015.
Dr Michael Jameson FRACP FRCP Edin. PhD
Consultant Medical Oncologist
Waikato Hospital
It is the nature of
clinical research that
it takes a long time
for studies to come to
fruition before results
can be analysed,
however Dr Jameson
expects that two
of his studies, using
cimetidine in colorectal
cancer, and simvastatin
in breast cancer, will
have results available
for presentation later
in 2015.
Dr Jameson says it
is also pleasing to
create cancer research
opportunities for a
new generation of
clinicians and scientists,
including registrars
in medical oncology,
radiation oncology,
neurosurgery, plastic
surgery and general
medicine, as well as a
pharmacist studying
for a PhD and two
students studying for a
Master of Science.

WAIKATO REGIONAL CANCER CENTRE REPORT
On behalf on the Waikato Regional Cancer
Centre, I would like to take this opportunity
to thank the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division
of the Cancer Society of New Zealand for
the opportunity to report on our last year’s
endeavours.
The importance of the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge and the role
that it plays in supporting patients and their whānau cannot be
underestimated. Many of our regional patients enjoy this “home
away from home” as they undergo various treatments at Waikato
Hospital. Similar to last year, the feedback from many patients
and their whānau is that this is a really important service for them
while they undergo treatment.
The past year has been another busy year. On average we saw
approximately 4,500 patients a month, some of these patients
requiring inpatient services, others outpatient services, while
a number of our patients require multiple visits as part of their
ongoing cancer care and treatment. It is, with this in mind, we
continually strive towards providing our patients with the high
quality support that is required. We have implemented a number
of local initiatives that aim to improve the quality of care that
we provide to our patients, and some of these initiatives have
demonstrated tangible benefits to our patients.
The main building project at the Waikato DHB is now complete
with many changes seen around the hospital, but as with any
building project more work around the hospital is planned. We
are in the very early stages of upgrading the Lomas Building,
which houses oncology outpatients. This is an exciting time as it
enables us to plan our service into the future. We are engaging
with many interested groups and this enables us to identify and
plan for our future requirements, ensuring that we achieve the
best design for our facilities and services.
As part of the Faster Cancer Treatment programme, Waikato will
be rolling out a number of new clinical psychologist roles in the
near future. The new roles will supplement and support the care
that is already provided to our patients and their families, ensuring
that they have access to appropriate support and intervention.
Waikato District Health Board (DHB) does not work in isolation.
Instrumental towards effective patient outcomes is a partnership
approach, and engagement, with the wider Midlands community.
We are engaged in a collaborative manner with the Midlands
Cancer Network, working on national and regional strategic aims,
ensuring that these are implemented in a sustainable and sage
manner. We are further enhancing our links with our Midland
District Health Board (DHB) partners, Tairawhiti, Bay Of Plenty
and Lakes ensuring that the journey of patients from a Midland
context is streamlined and smooth across all services and DHBs.
Our service could not operate as smoothly and efficiently as it
does without the support, hard work and dedication of so many
people and we would like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who has contributed to the provision of this ongoing
care. We would especially like to thank our wonderful Cancer
Society volunteers. Your hard work, commitment, and dedication
to our patients and staff alike, are truly inspirational and we
are very proud and privileged to be the benefactors of such a
wonderfully skilled and dedicated group of volunteers.
On behalf of all the staff and patients at the Waikato Regional
Cancer Centre, I would like to again thank the Waikato/Bay of
Plenty Division of the Cancer Society for their ongoing support.
We look forward to continuing our close relationship in the years
to come.

We wish to convey our sincere thanks and
appreciation to the Waikato/Bay of Plenty
Division of the Cancer Society for its ongoing
funding. Our top priority remains to serve
breast cancer patients and their treating
clinicians to improve outcomes. We hope to
continue working closely with the Waikato/
Bay of Plenty Division of the Cancer Society.
Our biggest research project from the Waikato Breast Cancer
Register (WBCR) looked at epidemiology and outcomes from
newly diagnosed breast cancer for Waikato women. This three
year PhD project (2012-2015) aimed to address why there are
significant differences in outcome by ethnicity and presentation in
the Waikato.
This study analysed data from approximately 3,000 women with
newly diagnosed breast cancer in the Waikato between 1999 and
2012.
Māori women were observed to have a risk of death from breast
cancer which was more than twice that of European women.
Delay in diagnosis in Māori women was responsible for about 40%
of the survival difference, while medical conditions and treatment
differences contributed about 15% each. No differences in death
rates were observed between Māori and European women who
were diagnosed through mammographic screening.
This study has highlighted the importance of increasing breast
screening coverage and providing quality and timely cancer
care for Māori women which may help improve survival. Further
research is planned to evaluate interventions aimed at improving
outcomes for Māori women.
This financial year our team, and this project, have contributed
to a number of publications and abstracts, with other research
submitted and accepted for publication. In September Sanjeewa
Seeneviratne (PhD student), Ian Campbell, Nina Scott and Ross
Lawrenson presented the following at the biannual research
seminar at Waikato Clinical School: Breast cancer survival inequity

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
that the Society will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of the receivables
REPORTING ENTITY
Waikato/Bay of Plenty Division Cancer Society of New Zealand
(Inc), hereinafter referred to as the division, is a society registered
under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908.
The financial statements of the division are a general purpose
report which has been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practices.
A new Accounting Standards Framework (incorporating a Tier
structure and a separate suite of accounting standards for Public
Benefit Entities (PBE)) has been issued by the External Reporting
Board (XRB). Under the new framework, the division will have to
transition to the new Not-For-Profit PBE (NFP PBE) standards that
will be based on International Public Sector Accounting Standards
(IPSAS). The effective date for the new NFP PBE standards is for
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. Therefore the
division will have to prepare its financial statements in accordance
with the new NFP PBE standards for the first time for the annual
period ending 31 March 2016.
MEASUREMENT BASE
The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the
measurement and reporting of earnings and financial position on
a historical cost basis are followed by the division.
SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following specific accounting policies which materially affect
the measurement of financial performance and financial position
have been applied:
1. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held
at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject
to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
2. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectible
are written off. A provision for impairment of trade
receivables is established when there is objective evidence
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as
an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed and the reversal is
recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. 3. PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Fixed Assets are valued at cost price less accumulated
depreciation.
Depreciation of Fixed Assets.
Depreciation has been charged using the straight line method
for all assets except land which is not depreciated.
Specific rates used are:
Motor Vehicles
20%
Furniture & Equipment
10% - 50%
Property
3.3%

4. FINANCIAL ASSETS
The society classifies its investments in the following
categories: financial assets at fair value through the Statement
of Financial Performance, loans and receivables, held to
maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the
investments were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its investments at initial recognition and
re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. At
balance date, the society only had financial assets classified as
available-for-sale. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available-for-sale financial assets are non derivatives that are
either designated in this category or not classified in any of
the other categories. They are included in non-current assets
unless management intends to dispose of the investment
within 12 months of the Statement of Financial Position. The society’s investments in listed securities are classified as
available-for-sale financial assets.
WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY DIVISION CANCER SOCIETY NEW ZEALAND INC ANNUAL REPORT 2015
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade
date – the date on which the society commits to purchase or
sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value
plus transaction costs. Available-for-sale financial assets are
subsequently carried at fair value. The fair values of quoted
investments are based on current bid prices. Unrealised gains
and losses arising from changes in the fair value of securities
classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
5. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
These amounts represent unsecured liabilities for goods
and services provided to the society prior to the end of the
financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are
recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. As trade
and other payables are usually paid within 30 days, they are
carried at face value.
6. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the
delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised
on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates
applicable to the financial assets. Other revenue is recognised
when the right to receive the revenue has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services
tax (GST).
7.GST
These financial statements have been prepared on a GST
exclusive basis except for accounts receivable and accounts
payable.
8. INCOME TAX
The division has been granted Charitable Status and is exempt
from income tax by the Inland Revenue Department.
9. DIFFERENTIAL REPORTING
The division qualifies for differential reporting as it is not
publicly accountable and there is no separation between
the owners and the governing body. The division has taken
advantage of all available differential reporting exemptions.
10.PROPERTIES INTENDED FOR SALE
Properties intended for sale are carried at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. Properties intended for sale which are
readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than
one year are classified within current assets. Where the current
asset test is not met, properties intended for sale are classified
as non-current assets.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes in accounting policies. All policies
have been applied on a basis consistent with those from previous
financial statements.

WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY DIVISION CANCER SOCIETY NEW ZEALAND INC ANNUAL REPORT 2015
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Beneficiaries of Waikato / Bay of Plenty Division Cancer Society of New Zealand (Incorporated)
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Waikato / Bay of Plenty Division Cancer Society of New Zealand (Incorporated)
(the ‘Society’) on pages 19 to 28, which comprise the statement of financial position of the Society as at 31 March 2015, the statement of
financial performance and statement of movements in equity of the Society for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Executive Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Executive Committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and for such internal control as the Executive Committee determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal controls relevant to the
Society’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Society’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Society.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As is common with other organisations of a similar nature, a portion of income is derived from donations and other fundraising activities.
Control over this income prior to being recorded is limited, and there are no practical audit procedures to determine the effect of this
limitation.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements
on pages 19 to 28:
• comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and
• give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Society as at 31 March 2015 and its financial performance for the year ended on
that date.
