OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Strategie5 for achieving aims and objectives
At Children Today we believe thai all disabled children and young adults should have access to the support and equipment they need to
live the life they choose, ioday. The tNstees attach significani importance to iheir aim of offering support as quickly as possible. With
this in mind, families are offered advice and help from the iniiial enquiry stage Ihrough a rdnge of paihway toolkits dependent on their
individual needs and requirements. All applications for adapted equipment are ihen rewle￿,td regularly by our Equipment Provision
Panel. The application process is very straightforward and any bureaucracy is kepi io a minimum.
Our application process is specifically for individuals who must bc thc parent or Icgal guardian of ihc bcncficiary.
The trustees are also very conscious of the Deeds of young adults with sickness or disability who may experience difficulties associated
with equipment supply. Therefore, young adults, those aged between 18 to 25 years, are encourdged to apply directly to Children Today
on their own behalf. The trustees are unable to accepi applieaiions direcily from organisations.
Applicants are en¢ouraged to re-apply for additional equipment as ihe needs of their Child changes as they grow. We are happy to accept
one application in any twelvc-monih period unlil the beneficiary leaches the age of twcnty five.
Our ethos is based on a fundamental belief that children and young people with disabilities should be enabled to achieve their potential.
We believe they should have the right tools and support to have the freedom to do so and do not judge what that potential mI￿t be.
Vhile clearly expressed above in our Objects. the trustees recognise it is the actions we take on a daily basis that will demonstrate
whether or not Children Today is continually "adding value" by delivering our seTr'ices in a manner that is fri.endly, inclusive, supportive
and caring.
Criteria used for assessing success
The trustees encourage everyone involved with Children Today (including employees. volunteers. donors and fundraisers) to recognise
that, as a small charity, we may not be able to support children and young wple in huge numbers. However, we can make a significant
and long-tem) impact to ihe families we help by striving to achieve ihe highest levels of service. One way in which we do this is by
building long-tem) relationships with our beneficiary families, engaging with ihem io understand (heir needs and researching ways we
can further improve the support we give. Part of Ihis process is through our family follow up support calls which enable us to get direct
feedback on the equipment their child received and th¢ impact our support has had.
Children Today has an ethos and policy of inclusion. Our FK>licies and procedures are designed and implemented so as not to discriminate
against any child or young person who is sick or disabled.
At Children Today we strive to continually improve our policy of inclusion whilst siill being aware of the constraints of our legal remit.
In practice, this means our seTh'ices are equally and fairly available to all regardless of their condition or disability, learning difficulty,
nationality, ethnicily, gender, sexual orientation, religious or spiritual beliefs.
The trustees acknowledge and subscribe to the United Naiions Conveniion on ihe Rights of the Child (1989) and the UN Standard Rules
on the Equalisation of Opportunitics for Pcrsons with disabilitiC511993). A key function of our advocacy rolc is to promote ability not
disability.

Significant activities and 2chievement$ against objectives
Dcspitc thc touO] economic climatc during thc course of thc financial ycar. the charity continucd to raise funds and sUPPOrt disabled
children and young people and families in need.
This year saw Children Today continue to invest into its family SUp￿rt services through inclusive activities and events. This included the
continuation of our Reading for Life campaign which saw us creaie a series of events for primary school children fearuring authors
writing about andlor wilh first-hand experience of disabiliry and neurodiversiry io help promote positive messaging and encourage
in¢lusivity from a young age. Over 1,800 people registered for the live online inclusive reading evenls which featured well-known
authois includin¥ Danielle Brown MBE and Illustratoi Kotky Paul.
This event also created a long-terni impact by offering inclusive ￿￿kS to schools and families. Feedback for the event was positive
with families saying the sessions were "so powerful in supporting children and helping them to see they're not alone" {Kate Heap).
Primary schools that attended also gave feedbaek Ihat the campaign was Impact￿1. saying= "Very inspiringl Thank you for answering our
questions so openly. We have really enjoyed the session." (Smallwood Primary sch￿)1).
Equipment Provision
During the year, Children Today directly provided funding on behalf of vulnerable families for 40 vital pieces of mobility and sensory
equipment. The average grant made was just under £1.050.
Feedback
A vari¢ty of families and the children we have sUPPOrtcd have offered us their fecdback OT] their equipvncni and a selection of these are
bclow:
6-year-old George who has cerebral palsy needed an adapted trike. His condition means he has a number of physical limilations including
reduced balance, coordination and limited endurdnce which mean he cannot use an ordinary bike as it would be unsafe for him. George's
Occupaiional Therapist said George would benefii greaily from being able to take part in regular exercise in a safe and fun way,
improving his physi¢al wellbeing as well as h&￿'ing a posiiive effeci on George's menial health and opportunities for social interaciion.
His mum told us.. 'He absolutely LOVES his trike. It's given him so much independence and enjoyment since the first time he tried it.
Hc's so confident gocs 700Tning round th¢ park. Thank you 50 much for rnaking it possiblc!11
Another child supported was 8-year-old Lucy who has chronic lung disease and is autistic. Due to her condition she was able to get out of
her old car seat, even trying to climb into the front seat which was very dangerous. Her family reached out to us for support in getting a
new adapted car seat that would meet her needs. This car seat was vital for the family to help them travel together safely, enabling them
to access activities together that they would never have been able to without it.
Lucy's mum Elizabeth told us how much difference OUT support in geiting their new Car seat has meant. Elizabeih ￿y$.. "[Children Today
is anl ama7.in¥ charity that have hclpcd us so much with Lucy's Car scat_ The car scat has made a ycat improi'ement in Luey's life and
ours. Staff are cxccllcnt as well and guide you through the proccss as best thcy can."
