ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
JUMP had a very good intake of services during the past year.
NEW PROJECTS AND MORE
JUMP together with HJMT are assisting and directing in setting up services for OJ communities in Canvey Island and Westcliff. JUMP members educate, inform, and arrange courses and more. The aim is to set up Antenatal classes, Dobla services, BF support, Parenting education and more in the new, young growing communities. Local charities and Statutory bodies are involved, and supportive. This initiative was started by JUMP and now encompasses JUMP and INTERLINK.
JUMP joined Coach Parenting in providing Solihull parenting courses to vulnerable families in the community. Due to covid these sessions are virtual but very well sought after and well attended. Parents feedback that they feel less inhibited and less shy to share and discuss issues, proving that every difficult situation has some silver lining. JUMP signpost families to this provision.
JUMP was approached by the GP federation to support the GP locally to reach the community and hopefully enhance immunisation numbers. JUMP together with the GP lead have been working for some months on setting up the pilot project andt if proved successful will become a service. We hope to start this provision as soon as the pandemic situation improves.
JUMP in conjunction with Interlink were approached by the Royal Collage of Obs. and Gyn.- RCOG, due to important data collected and collated by JUMP regarding compliance of Maternity users with taking Blood thinning drugs. The members of RCOG met with JUMP manager and Interlink lead and discussed several topics related to user's needs. JUMP agreed to be contacted by the RCOG to assist in future.
JUMP was approached by an NHS Trust in London to assist with their CQC Maternity Services report. The latest report failed on several points. The residing consultant who is familiar with JUMP and Interlink work requested the involvement of these organisation in working with the team to optimise the services. JUMP and interlink joined the Virtual meeting and volunteered to give of their expertise and knowledge. We will assist the group until the happy conclusion.
DURING THE LOCK DOWN AND BEYOND
During these past many months of the Pandemic, JUMP services continued steadily, longer hours, many more users and much more demand.
ZOOM sessions are a huge success. Enjoyed by educators and families. As a bonus, the Breast-feeding educator was also brought aboard and she is delivering some sessions on ZOOM too.
TELECONFERENCE sessions continue, when necessary, but people can't see the models or the pictures, so the educator has to use many words to describe the pictures etc. To assist with understanding, the text booklets that summarises the courses was updated with many pictures and drawings, to assist the learning.
Due to the difficult times mothers need much more reassurance and time with teachers when they can't see them live, and we put ourselves out to talk to each one individually on the phone as many times as they need. Families had at least two one-to-one phone sessions a week and more needy families have many more slots.
With all theses in place, it became apparent that some very needy mothers need to be seen live at least once, some mothers need to be accommodated more than once. In accordance with government guidelines, we arranged to meet with maximum care. Mothers and educators wearing masks and clean their hands. They sit 2-3 meter apart from each other in a well-ventilated room and the plastic chairs are wiped with antibacterial wipes before and after use. The bathroom wiped down before and after use and other surfaces and handles cleaned before and after a visit. The mothers have to confirm before coming that they weren't in contact with anyone that is sick or has symptoms, and that they don't have any symptoms.
Due to the mother and baby home closure the number of families needing support over the phone grew three-fold, JUMP supporters offer phone support and information 24 hours 6 days a week to families during the Maternity period and beyond. Some callers supply their details, but many remain anonymous.

JEWISH MATERNITY PROGRAMME (JUMP)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021
JUMP supporters receive many calls from couples who are worried about going to appointments, they are scared to contract the virus in hospital. This situation is worrying, because mothers could risk their life and their baby's life if they don't go to be seen in emergency or even for scheduled appointments. We receive calls from diabetic mothers for example, who are not happy to attend the special clinic. Mothers refuse scans and blood tests and other important tests. The situation is serious and we feel the heavy responsibility of ensuring that pregnant mothers continue to receive care, we know that we must support the families and convince them to continue to attend essential appointments, and to trust the service. We are happy to report that during the last four months our clients listened and attended.
Additionally, we realised that mothers felt that it was unsafe to go to the GP clinic for immunisations or when there were concerns about their baby or toddler, again, we use our standing in the community to encourage and inform and reassure mothers that going for immunisation or seeing the GP or health visitor was safe.
Due to the situation, some hospitals allow only one labour partner, and even that person is allowed to come only when labour is in full swing, leaving many moms to be to fend for themselves for many hours. This situation causes panic and severe anxiety and mothers delaying going to hospital. Again, we offer phone labour support 24/7 until a real support person is allowed to join the mother. We have supported on the phone many mothers through beautiful labours, but unfortunately, we also phone supported mothers through still birth, miscarriage and birth of a sick baby. We are delighted to receive tens of thank you letters and thank you calls from mothers who say that they had a really good experience thanks to our support. Even the grieving mothers thank us for making it bearable because we were available on the phone. Homerton Hospital now allow two support partners, and since May JUMP provides live support there when appropriate.
While supporting families we became aware that many young families who self-isolate or quarantine are running out of essential supplies or find it difficult to purchase essentials after they lost their income. JUMP team managed to earmark small sums of money left over from other projects and we are buying essential supplies at very low cost from In-kind. We give the goods free of charge to the needy families. JUMP volunteers raised funds amongst family and friends and bought more supplies to give to large families in need. Example of goods bought: Toilet paper, tissues, hand wash, shower gel, hand sanitisers, cotton balls, baby wipes, antibacterial wipes, household cleaners, oral care, hand creams, washing powder, maternity pads, toys and games, back to school supplies and more.
Due to Covid all volunteers and service providers as well as office workers work from home. As a result, JUMP has to purchase office supplies and other essentials that weren't needed when everyone used the CC offices where JUMP received all the office needs from the Children Centre.
USUAL SERVICES:
JUMP had a very high intake of services. During this period.
JUMP continues to incorporate the 'START 4 LIFE' initiative into JUMP's programme. All the families are receiving the 'Start 4 Life' booklets; the main issues are discussed in our sessions as well as other healthy lifestyle issues. JUMP encourage mothers 2 B to take Healthy Start Vitamins and Vitamin D and to give them to her baby(ies)
JUMP antenatal courses focus on encouraging and supporting sustainable breastfeeding. Other focus points are early booking before 10 weeks gestation, hearing tests for new-born and development check-up as well as immunisations in pregnancy and for the children. JUMP antenatal programmes focus on encouraging and supporting mothers to return to work after they had a baby and provide basic information about benefits and other entitlements. JUMP signpost families to the appropriate agencies when needed.
JUMP educates about MENTAL HEALTH in the maternity period and gives culturally appropriate information booklets to parents and parents to be. JUMP also refers and signpost parents to mental health services and/or refer mothers to be to the 'Vulnerable woman Pathway'. JUMP will contribute to CAFF and attend MAT when appropriate. JUMP achieved wider signposting opportunities with other voluntary and statutory organisations. JUMP refers families to family support organisation and to CC professionals as well as to the mental health team and Health visitors.
