™ 2 2 Annual Report 2024-25 ## Welcome from the Chair ## _Dear friends, colleagues, and supporters,_ It is a privilege to introduce this year’s Annual Review as the newly appointed Chair of Trustees. Stepping into this role has been both an honour and a responsibility I embrace with great optimism. I am continually inspired by the dedication of our staff, the generosity of our volunteers, and the unwavering support of our wider community. Together, you form the foundation of our ability to serve those who need us most. This year has been marked by significant progress and meaningful impact. We are now offering our free service in the Cambridge and Fenland areas to fill the much-needed gap. We were pleased to welcome Andrea to our team as our Administrator. As she now begins her maternity leave, we wish her every happiness during this special time. I would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to Rachelle and Hilary, who have stepped in to cover the administrator role with great dedication and professionalism. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Camilla, our Centre Manager, whose leadership has strengthened our services and nurtured the development of our team. For those considering becoming pregnancy choice counsellors, Camilla is helping new volunteers through the comprehensive online accreditation course. While we have been blessed with additional grant funding this year, we are mindful that costs across all areas have risen significantly. As we look ahead, we are facing a potential budget deficit for the forthcoming year. We are therefore actively seeking additional financial support to ensure we can continue to deliver and expand our vital services. As we move forward, I am filled with confidence about what we can achieve together. With your continued support and the extraordinary commitment of our team, we are poised to extend our reach and deepen our impact, bringing vital support and hope to even more individuals and families in the coming year. Thank you for being an essential part of this mission. I look forward to all that we will accomplish together. Adam Johannes Chair of Trustees The Baby Boutique remains a cornerstone of our outreach, providing essential baby supplies to families with infants. This service thrives thanks to the generosity of our donors and the exemplary leadership of Karena, our Boutique Manager, along with our volunteers, whose dedication ensures its continued success. I would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to Peter, our Treasurer, for his invaluable financial oversight, and to Georgina, our Charity Development Lead, whose efforts have expanded our partnerships and secured vital resources to help us grow. 3 Annual Report 2024-25 ## About Cornerstone Cornerstone’s mission is to reach every woman in Cambridgeshire facing an unplanned pregnancy, providing her with time, space, and non-directive information so that she can make a fully informed choice, and offering her ongoing support, whatever decision she makes. ## Structure, Governance and Management Cornerstone Care in Confidence (referred to as Cornerstone going forward) was established on 7[th] May 2004 and is governed by a Trust Deed of the same date. This can be provided on request. The Charity Trustees are responsible for the governance of Cornerstone. The Charity Trustees are elected to the board by the existing trustees, taking into account their professional qualifications or personal experience, to be able to contribute to the pursuit of the objects of the charity. Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term with the opportunity to be nominated for reappointment at the end of each three-year term. There is always a minimum of three trustees. ## **Trustees who served during the year:** Mrs Clair Cooper Mr Adam Johannes Mrs Wilma Kotzenberg Mr Peter Lusmore Mrs Juliette Mapimhidze (joined 18th March 2025) 4 Annual Report 2024-25 ## Objectives and Activities Our primary goal is to protect and promote women’s wellbeing through advice, counselling, and practical assistance. We support women and their families experiencing emotional stress, poverty, or trauma connected to pregnancy, miscarriage, or abortion. To fulfil this purpose, Cornerstone engages in various activities, including: . A & **45% of babies** born in Britain are osos **unplanned** ## **Personalised Support:** Providing compassionate care to women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy or experiencing emotional distress from previous pregnancy decisions. ## **Impartial Information:** Offering time, space, and non-judgemental, nondirective guidance, ensuring individuals can make decisions free from coercion. Our trained team listens carefully, helps individuals understand their options, and respects confidentiality as they explore their feelings and circumstances. Currently, one in three pregnancies in the UK ends in termination, creating significant emotional strain for women and men who often lack adequate support. Around 45% of babies born in Britain are unplanned, amplifying the anxiety surrounding early pregnancy. Additionally, pregnancy can be a trigger for or exacerbate domestic abuse, making our role even more critical. Cornerstone uniquely meets these needs in Cambridgeshire, offering specialised services unavailable elsewhere in the region. ## **Befriending Service:** Extending support beyond decision-making, our service includes emotional and practical assistance such as friendly chats, accompanying clients to appointments, sourcing essential baby equipment, and helping build supportive community networks by referring to appropriate services. ## **Peer Counselling:** Providing dedicated support to anyone affected by miscarriage, including partners, through peer counselling. ## **Referral Network:** Collaborating closely with charities and organisations such as food banks, Home Start, and debt advice services to provide holistic care to our clients. Cornerstone relies heavily on a dedicated team of trustees, staff, and invaluable volunteers, including trained counsellors and general support volunteers, who generously contribute their time and expertise. Without their commitment, we would not be able to support as many women and families each year. We uphold the highest safeguarding standards, ensuring all personnel who work with children and vulnerable adults are vetted appropriately via the Disclosure and Barring Service. Our trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and confidently affirm that Cornerstone’s activities significantly contribute to public wellbeing. > Annual Report 2024-25 5 ## Our team Here is our team who have served us in the 2024/2025 financial year. Camilla Hunt Centre Director Georgina Forbes Development Lead Karena Blande Baby Boutique Manager and Social Media Andrea Turley Administrator Clair Cooper Trustee Wilma Kotzenberg Trustee Juliette Mapimhidze Trustee Peter Lusmore Treasurer Adam Johannes Chair of Trustees 6 Annual Report 2024-25 ## Key events We participated in several major fundraising events during the year. ## Annual Golf Day A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at St Neots Golf Club for our Annual Golf Day in June. It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying a great day of golf while supporting Cornerstone’s important work with women facing unplanned pregnancy. The ‘closest to the pin’ and ‘longest drive’ competitions added some extra fun to the day, and along with the raffle, there were plenty of prizes to be won. Twenty teams took part in the tournament, raising over **£9,000!** ## Darts Tournament In January, we teamed up with the Papworth Trust at the Comrades Club in Godmanchester for an evening of darts to raise funds for Cornerstone and the Papworth Trust. Players of all skill levels came together in a doubles competition. All proceeds raised were split equally between the two charities, helping to support families in need and advance vital community services. Cornerstone received **£1,345** in donations from the event. ## Northstowe Running Festival In August, we were thrilled to be chosen as an official charity by the Northstowe Running Festival for their Charity Race. We had a fantastic team team of runners who fundraised on our behalf. The event included a half-marathon, a 10k, a 5k, and a family mile race at the Western Park Playing Fields in Northstowe. In total, we raised **£1,900** for Cornerstone! > Annual Report 2024-25 7 ## Our services Women facing an unplanned pregnancy have access to our trained practitioners, who will provide them with time, space, and non-directive information to support them in their time of need. All our clients are treated with respect and dignity in a non-judgmental and compassionate environment. We are here to support women before, during and after a pregnancy. Because we don’t refer directly for a termination or to midwives, our clients can be sure of unbiased information and help. Our services are free and available to both men and women. ## **Counselling** We provide confidential counselling sessions at our centre in Huntingdon. We have trained practitioners to help with post-abortion and miscarriage support. We see women weeks, sometimes even years, after a termination decision. _“I am now able to get up in the mornings without a debilitating feeling of sorrow, and I’m able to get through my day without feeling like I’m not going to make it. The help and support I have received has been priceless”._ ## **We offer ongoing support** Becoming a parent may involve facing some of the challenges that come with it. The practical and emotional aspects of managing life with a child can create challenges, but becoming a parent can also be very rewarding and fulfilling, and we are here to support women and families. ## **Baby Boutique** Our Baby Boutique is a friendly, warm and safe space for new mums in need, offering essential items free of charge to help them provide for their babies. In 2024–25 alone, we distributed **6,439** high-quality items, ranging from clothing and toiletries to feeding and sleep essentials. **Clothing & Maternity Wear:** 2,048 baby clothes items and 246 maternity garments helped keep both babies and mums comfortable and cared for. **Feeding & Nutrition:** 520 packs of baby food and 156 pre-made formula bottles ensured no child went without nourishment. **Hygiene & Care:** 656 toiletry items and 253 nappy packs allowed parents to focus on bonding without worrying about essentials. **Extras that Matter:** We also provided 66 pairs of shoes, 52 toys for play and development, and 27 sleeping bags to help babies rest safely and warmly. 8 Annual Report 2024-25 ## What our clients say e a > _“Have already recommended friends, family, and think it’s a great service very friendly and if in town having a down day sometimes just call in ask for information, and have a coffee, feed, change baby.”_ _“Amazing service which I wish people were more aware of.”_ _Georgina and Helen were so supportive and quick to get in touch, even though I live in London and they are based in Cambridgeshire. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone and their manner on the phone was better than the other pregnancy charity I spoke to._ ## Our impact this year **It’s been a very busy and exciting year for our team. Here are some figures and notes on what we have been up to.** 360 164 100 client appointments for counselling and assessments Baby Boutique appointments helping new mums provide for their babies people visited us for classes and baby groups that we have held We’ve continued to provide care and compassion to women accessing our counselling services, supporting them both emotionally and practically. This includes material aid through our baby boutique, assistance with domestic violence situations, referrals to safe housing, and more. Launched our Church Companions project, which aims to create strong partnerships with local churches, providing them with resources, including one free counselling training place, whilst securing a regular source of funding. We are currently in the early stages of the project and look forward to seeing more churches partner with us. We’ve had three staff members and volunteers complete our counselling training programme, with a further three or four due to begin the next round in September. Positive developments have been made in Fenland, with many useful connections made – the groundwork is being laid to expand our reach to clients based in the Fens. Making inroads into the Peterborough area, with all of our newest volunteers based there. This will help us achieve our longer-term aim of starting to deliver our services to clients in Peterborough, thereby extending our reach to the places that need it most. Continuing to partner with the local Children’s centre to host ante-natal classes which help new mothers to form friendships, build confidence and bond with their babies. 10 Annual Report 2024-25 ## Overview from Camilla ## Dear friends, It’s a privilege to look back over the past year at Cornerstone and to thank God for His many blessings! Having stepped into the role of Director only last September, it’s been a steep learning curve, yet I’m grateful to be surrounded by a wonderful, supportive board, colleagues and volunteers, who have all helped to ensure a relatively smooth transition. We’re riding on a high after another successful charity golf day – yet the year hasn’t been without its challenges, too. Some days are full of joy as we celebrate the precious gift of life. Others are discouraging as we confront the mess and brokenness in the lives of those who come to us. The real heart of this work is through our staff and volunteers, who demonstrate Jesus’ love to women who need grace and support. Looking back at our stats over the year, it’s an encouragement to see how many clients’ lives we have touched in some way, big or small. We could do none of this without your support. As we commit our plans to the Lord over the next year, we hope and pray to continue reaching those who need it most. **----- Start of picture text -----**

_Thank you so much for all of your support. I don’t know how I would have coped without you! – Cornerstone Client_ > Annual Report 2024-25 11 ## Cornerstone development work During the 2024/2025 financial year, I undertook development work across Cambridgeshire to raise awareness of our service, securing financial support, and inspiring new volunteers to join us. This included engaging with clinical and non-clinical practitioners, secular and church communities, and potential counselling space providers. From September 2024, one day a week has been dedicated to development work in East Cambridgeshire and Fenland, funded by the NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB and Assura. Overall, this work breaks down in the following ways: ## **Connections and leads** These include Doctors’ surgeries, Trainee Doctors at Addenbrookes, County Council workers, Social Prescribers, Children and Family Centres, Libraries (for promotion and counselling space) and Housing Associations. I have also approached various groups and clubs for fundraising support. I have also met with the Clergy and pastoral staff, including the acting Bishop of Ely. Delivering talks to church congregations. Attending Christian networking meetings, such as Cambridge Community Action Network and the C3 2024 Women’s Conference “Breathe”. I have focused, where possible, on “Churches Together” in parishes where there is such activity. Highlights were presenting our work to the Assura Fund Board in December 2024, showing the progress made during the first quarter of the year’s funding. We had excellent feedback, and Assura filmed the presentation. Also meeting with Rt Rev Dr Dagma Winter, acting Bishop of Ely, who enjoyed hearing about Cornerstone, offered to share our information with contacts within her sphere of influence and endorsed our work by giving a quote for the Cornerstone Church Companion Pack. ## Georgina **Georgina Forbes** Development Lead 12 Annual Report 2024-25 ## How can you help? ## **You can make a difference in the lives of women and their families.** As with all small charities, we rely on income from our supporters.
