Trustees Annual Report Introduction The Children's Foundation is a charity covering the North East of England. We exist to improve the health and well-being of children and young people from birth to age 18 by making serious stuff fun. History The Children's Foundation is a small, independent child health charity. It was set up in August 1990 in Newcastle upon Tyne in response to a national report on child health that showed the health of children and young people in the North East was the worst in the country. Its first major appeal, the "Yellow Brick Road. raised £12 million in 4 years, a magnificent response by the people of the North East, to build The Sirjames Spence Institute of Child Health at the RVI in Newcastle upon Tyne. The building was later gifted to the NHS, and the charity receives office provision, utilities and IT within the building at a peppercorn rent on a 99 year lease. The charity remains fully independent. The Sirjames Spence Institute has since become a national and international center for research into childhood diseases and disorders. Over its 30+ years The Children's Foundation has seen its ambition of having "one of the finest centres in the world for the care of sick children" take shape in the form of The Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle. Purpose Our aim is to improve the health and well-being of children and young people from birth to age 18 in the North East by making serious stuff fun! We want all North East children and young people to be happy and healthy. We want them to feel loved, respected, feel they have a voice and are heard. Evidence tells us that positive experiences early in life are closely associated with better performance at school, better social and emotional development, improved work outcomes and better lifelong health, including longer life expectancy. Early intervention is vital to prevent health inequalities. Page 3

The Object of the charlty is: (1) The promotion, preseniation and improvement of good health and well-being among children and young people in the North East of England. Including both physical and mentsl health, by such means as the trustees shall from time to time determine. Dellvering Public Benefit The Children's Foundation is an independent child health charity that raises money from Trusts and Foundations, individuals and the private and public sectors to fund its activities. All The Children's Foundation's charitable activities are intended to contribute to the improvement of the health and well-being of children and young people and are undertaken in pursuance of its charitable objectives for the public benefit. To this end, it aims to reach as many children and families as possible through its projects. In the period to 31 St March 2024, The Children's Foundation reached the lives of 1215 babies, children and young people across the region. Current Actlvltles The work of the charity remains focused on the three key child health areas: early years, children's mental health and children's physical health. We support babies, children, young people, and their families through a range of projects within hospitals, schools and the community under these themes providing opportunities that enhance their health and well- being.

The Childrens FOUNDATION Baby Box& The Baby Box Built around S key principles (love & laugh, play, read, sing & talk and count) we are supporting first time parents and their babies with a best start in life. At the moment our boxes focus on those parents identified on a vulnerable parent pathway, referred by Midwives and Health Visitors. The box contents reflect the innovative scope of the project. Our Baby Box is the first to take a development approach to the child. It promotes attachment-based parenting and bonding and supports maternal well-being. Making )eriOLts StulF Funl Positive experiences early in life are closely associated with better social and emotional development, better performance at school and improved outcomes for the future. Early intetvention is vital to prevent health inequalities. Key interventions are projects that give children the best start in life. Our boxes do this. They promote confidence, help to build self - esteem, and address the anxiety and fear felt by many first-time parents. We support community-based ante-natal sessions for parents in receipt of boxes and aim to build a network of new mums/parents who will act as mutual support post-partum. Since the official Lunch in March 2023 the Baby Box project has expanded significantly, with boxes going out across Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland. This expansion is mainly down to significant investment from the Combined Authority as part of their Child Povety Prevention Programme, delivering under pillar 4 'The Critical 1001 days,. An independent service evaluation of the Gateshead Pilot has been carried out by The National Institute for Health Research with the report due in May 2024. The Baby Box was named and recommended for regional roll out by the North East Child Poverty Commission in their 'No Time to Wait, report published Feb 2024, an ambitious blue print for tackling Child Povety in the North East. A special thanks and mention needs to go to Stiller Distribution and Warehousing, a North East based family run company who, in kind are storing, packing and distributing all the Baby Boxes on behalf of The Children's Foundation. Caring for babies is an importanc but very difficult job, and it takes the whole community to make a difference. We want to remind new parents and familie5 that they are cared for, and to promote a Best Start in life for all children born here in the North East. Page 5

Roots to Health (fherapeutlc Hortlculture Projects) Building on the success of our school based model and using the findings from the independent evaluation through the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria (NENC) by the University of Cumbria we continue to delivering 'Roots to Health, from our allotment site in Fawdon. Three groups of young people (referred by schools) have been supported by our Youth Workers to complete and achieve their level 1 award in Practical Horticulture through weekly sessions at the allotment. The project supports young people to create a garden as a safe space to develop their ability to mix socially, make friends and learn new practical skills. We are using our Accredited Centre status with City and Guilds to directly deliver this project to young people who struggle with full time classroom-based learning. Health and Happlness (fherapeutlc Hortlculture) This project supports those young people who have not (post pandemic), re-engaged fully in school due to social anxiety and mental health issues. The project was informed/created by young people and is delivered from our allotment site. Health and Happiness provides informal youth work and therapeutic support to Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) marginalised young people with emotional issues. The project aims to increase well-being, confidence and support young people with an opportunity to re-engage with education or progress to the Level 1 in Practical Horticulture (Roots to Health Project). Three groups of young people were supported to take part in the project, each creating an art journal linked to their self-reflection and learning, creating a resource for future use and for ongoing personal growth. Relationships are built in a non-judgmental, nurturing environment where young people learn from themselves and each other. Activities focus on building self- awareness, self-esteem and empathy (towards self and others) with ongoing reflection and cooking around a campfire. Working in partnership with Life and Limb Puppets, Fuzzy Subject5 uses giant puppets to engage children aged 9-11 in primary schools on the subject of mental health and well- being. It raises awareness of mental health, de-stigmatises the issue and builds resilience, supporting young people to develop tools and early interventions to improve their well- being. The project 15 delivered either as a whole class workshop or as a more targeted 6- week inteNention with small groups of children, specifically identified and referred by ubject Page 6

schools. A key factor in this project is the empowerment of children to be active in improving their own, and others, well-being and mental health by encouraging active participation in the sessions. They are designed to get them thinking and talking about their own mental health and life situation, exploring resilience factors in their lives and thinking about solutions or alternative actions they could adopt to keep them mentally well. A total of 625 children took part in Fuzzy Subjects over the last year. Story Chair You're never too old. wacky or wlld. to plck up a book and rnyd to a ch(Idl - Dr Seuss. Our story chair project has gone from strength to strength over the last 12 months. Tom, our expert storyteller has become a regular part of the team at Children's Outpatients in the QE hospital in Gateshead. Fortnightly sessions engage children and their families in storytelling and craft activities, reducing the stress and anxiety of hospital visits. Over 50 children have benefitted from the story chair over the last year. Thanks to funding from a local donor, we are expanding the project to an additional hospital in the region later this year. Couch to 2K Supports young people to gain self-confidence, improve fitness, increase physical activity and have fun via weekly walking/jogging/running sessions over 6-8 weeks in local parks/green spaces. Our Youth Workers support referrals via child health professionals for young people who are 'inactive' or otherwise not engaged in sport or physical activity. This year the project expanded into Northumberland supporting young people in the Looked After system. To encourage participation and remove barriers for young people to get involved, each young person receives an e-voucher to purchase sports clothes and trainers, and they also receive a basic fit-bit watch. Hollday Actlvltles One of the most negative effects to come out of the pandemic was the destructive impact it had on children's play; the spaces they play in, the degree of freedom they experience and their ability to choose what they do and how they do it. Our holiday programme is designed to combat holiday hunger, social isolation and inactivity, and targets children who can be classed as vulnerable. A programme of activities including surfing, and pop-up sports days in local parks took children out of their usual environments and gave them the opportunity to try new experiences, meet new people and have fun. Community Allotment Page 7

Our allotment provides children and young people with an engaging communal outdoor space to improve their social and emotional well-being. Young people are encouraged to work together and think creatively to improve this green space, allowing them to create lasting and meaningful connections with the natural environment. The weekly drop-in session has welcomed over 20 individuals. This project operates seasonally between March and October.

The outstanding contribution made by Stiller Warehousing & Distribution Ltd in the support of the Baby Box project is recognised.

Trustees, Responsibllltles Statement The Trustees, who are also directors of the Company, are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to". select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the Trustees are aware: there is no relevant information of which the charitable CoMpan￿S independent examiner is unaware; and the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Acknowledgments of Support Trusts.
