Letter from the Chief Executive

ECHO emerged from the constraints of Covid a more resourceful organisation, ready to expand its community of families, partners, staff, and volunteers. Throughout 2022, the charity has extended its geographical base and the range and reach of its services.

By facing head-on, the uncertainties of 2020 and 2021, we have developed resilience to support families and our professional colleagues through individual and collective challenges. This report showcases the highlights of 2022 and sets the scene for the work ahead to reach underserved sections of the congenital heart community.

ECHO’s primary focus is always to respond to the needs of children treated for heart conditions within the Evelina London Children’s Hospital networks and their families. We are proud to be an independent charity -- we receive no funding from the government or the NHS -- but to best serve our families, we build long-lasting relationships with a wide range of partners. We work to ensure that our contacts with individuals are consistently positive – and, where possible, life-enhancing – professional and effective.

With that focus on the individual in mind, I am delighted to report ways in which we scaled up our offer. During 2022 we:

network

• Introduced the ECHO QR code to the Evelina London & Princess Royal London Hospitals for children’s cardiac clinic letters

• Increased our representation for the CHD community at nurse wellbeing days by attending conferences and playing an active role on boards and committees, including the CHD Network PPV Group, Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Medical Engineering Public Engagement Advisory Board, Cardiac youth worker group, Healthcare youth workers, RBHKHP partnerships.

• Gave wings to creativity through five Teens Virtual Film Club sessions with an average of 6-10 households online each time. We set up the Film Club during lockdown to bring ECHO’s young people together online to learn film techniques to create footage about their lives and passions

As Chief Executive, I am grateful to every person who has given their time, skill, effort, passion, or finances to enable the charity to pre-empt and respond to the needs of children and families affected by congenital heart disease (CHD), acquired and inherited conditions in 2022 and to plan for even more of this vital work for the years to come.

Samantha Johnson, CEO

About ECHO

ECHO supports families affected by children’s heart conditions at every stage of their journey, helping from diagnosis (often during pregnancy) through to a child’s teenage years and beyond as they transition to adult cardiology services. ECHO connects the children’s heart community by bringing together children and young people with heart conditions, their families, and medical professionals. This strong network at all life stages of the child’s journey with CHD is often accessed in a crisis and again years later at different milestones. Many of our members regard ECHO as a second family.

ECHO Red Letter Days in 2022

January

Winter Walk -- with the marathon, half marathon, and 10k options -- the first of several externally-organised fundraising events throughout the year that gave our supporters a chance to stretch themselves against their own goals for fitness and fundraising.

February

Ziplining to raise awareness at Hangloose Bluewater, England’s longest zipline. March

Mother’s Day Packs – carefully put together by volunteers from ECHO who had been through long hospital stays and wanted to give back.

May

Up and Over Challenge – Raising the Roof on Transition , with 20 young people plus 20 parents and volunteers. As well as engaging in the physical challenge of climbing over London’s O2 arena, other activities gave ECHO’s teenage members a chance to shape the new young people’s service and to explore their thoughts and feelings about their medical transition. Their conversations revealed that several of the young people had never spoken about the prospect of leaving paediatric care and moving across to adult care. This empowered the group to ask questions they have never asked before and share their worries and anxieties in a safe space, supported by trusted adults and others with shared lived experiences.

June

Father’s Day Packs - Put together by a new corporate partner, MACE, in order to give ECHO Dads a little treat made special by the donation from Joseph & Joseph of water bottles.

July

Plans to explore how ECHO could use 3D-printed hearts as a resource in our family room with Nick Byrne (Evelina) and Karen McCarthy (RBH) begun.

Who we supported and how

Parents and carers whose children are diagnosed with a heart condition

We are there for families from the moment a diagnosis with the heart health of a baby, child, or young person is suspected. Our wide range of services enables parents, carers, and the wider family to understand medical information in order to make decisions and be as well prepared as possible to support the child and its siblings through procedures, treatments, and growing up with a heart condition.

Before birth

ECHO funds bespoke cardiac antenatal classes for parents whose unborn child has been diagnosed with a heart condition. In partnership with the Tower Team midwives at Guy’s and St Thomas’, we ran another successful year of online classes every six weeks that were attended, on average, by 15 to 18 couples every session. These explored delivering at a specialist hospital, birth, and after birth. Experienced ECHO heart parents played an active part, providing insight and reassurance from their own experiences, with an opportunity for the class members to share their concerns and ask as many questions as they needed to.

“We had a Zoom class with the Tower team midwives and ECHO, which was so helpful and prepared us for the birth and the baby being taken to NICU,” said an ECHO member.

“We went to the ECHO antenatal class, and it was the best meeting I could have gone too as it gives you lots of information about what to expect when you go into labour, who will be in the room, and it also takes you around the maternity unit and the special care unit, so it's not overwhelming if your baby needs to go there after birth,” ECHO member.

During childhood

Our Paediatric Cardiology Parents’ Group, run in partnership with the cardiac psychology team, covers topics to help parents support their children who are living with a heart condition. The group met eight times online, covering topics including promoting positive behaviour,

7

managing the transition to young adulthood and adult services, and strategies to support children and young people with additional or neurodiversity needs.

Younger children

Eddie & Friends magazine is designed for children aged 10 and under with heart conditions who are patients in the hospital and their siblings. The 15-page magazine is packed with activities, puzzles, and jokes to help keep children entertained and offer some comfort and distraction while they recover from surgery or treatment. Each magazine also comes with 24 stickers. In 2022, we were thrilled to introduce Eddie ECHO’s friends, Sunny and Koko – three new characters who will feature in our future resources.

Eddie & Friends magazine has been written with the help of Cecilia Adamou, a young writer who grew up with a heart condition and has had a heart transplant. Cecilia has been an ECHO member since she was born and continues to be a big supporter of the charity.

“In addition to being a relaxing distraction

Eddie & Friends includes practical resources to help children under 10 talk with their grown up or cardiac team about how they are feeling, helping to alleviate some of the worry we know comes with staying in hospital. I’d like to thank those young patients, parents and carers who contributed and helped produce the magazine” Samantha Johnson, ECHO Chief Executive

Eddie & Friends magazine was available for free from March 2022 for all children with heart conditions and their siblings who are inpatients at Evelina London including the cardiac Sky ward, PICU and those visiting the Walrus Outpatients Department. Copies have also been distributed across 27 network hospitals.

ECHO Teens

A key focus for ECHO in 2022 was to enrich and expand the ECHO Teens service offer to support our young people in their personal, social, and emotional development. Through time together in fun group activities and one-to-one support, our young people built their communication skills and confidence to ask questions, make decisions and manage their condition independently.

"ECHO has given me the confidence to find who I am," ECHO Teen member.

In April 2022, ECHO hired a full-time youth worker for the first time. During her first six months she compiled a community profile to give us a clearer understanding of the needs, interests and priorities of our young people, and workshops with them directly informed the design of

8

the service offer, including a greater emphasis moving forward on physical activity and sports, wellbeing and mental health and transition to adult services.

Film Club

We heard from our young people that the online support we provided made things easier for them, as they were still concerned about the pandemic and had to catch up with school and clubs.

We decided to continue with our very popular online film club for young people aged 11-18 years affected by heart conditions in order to provide young people affected by heart conditions, both patients and their siblings, a safe space to develop new skills whilst learning about self, others, and

the world around them through the mediums of film and the arts. All members of the ECHO Teens film club receive a Film Club pack in the post, including a tripod and smartphone lens filters, plus their own ECHO Teens t-shirt and tote bag. During the sessions, ECHO teen members took part in live recordings showing off their talents, voices, skills, and experiences.

The thoughts and feelings of the group were captured and produced in a short film, Home But Not Alone – More Than Our Hearts , which will be shared with the wider heart community at our VIP online film premiere in November 2023.

“During the lockdown, it was a bit of a hard time, and I kept on thinking back to when umm, my brother was in the Evelina with his heart condition and er, I was struggling with it a little bit, but I found the online community, just to see everyone is fine, it’s just good to see everyone is thriving with or without a heart condition.” ECHO Teen member, who at the end of November, offered to become a volunteer helping to develop our offering to young people.

The whole family

Community events

Our community events give opportunities for families to understand and support each other and enable more connections for ECHO teens and siblings of children with heart conditions to take part in fun activities such as urban art together, exploring self and identity.

” Meeting other families who have been through a similar experience allowed me not to feel alone. In turn, I can identify with how it feels to go through this news and how we adapted as a family,” ECHO member. “We love the social side of ECHO, questions answered by everyone’s experiences and a friendly face to just chat to is perfect,” ECHO member.

Support in hospital

We provide equipment to make hospital stays more comfortable and bedside support through arts and crafts and activities on the ward. In 2022, we introduced a new ECHO Tea Trolley on wards in the Evelina Hospital. This gives a natural way of offering psychological first aid alongside much-appreciated beverages and treats.

Diversity and inclusivity

We have continued the conversation started in our inclusivity project with Guy’s and St Thomas’ and the Royal Brompton hospitals, in which over 100 families joined us in person to discuss what was important to them. ECHO members shared how hard it was for them to access Halal food and disability- and neurodiversity-friendly activities in the local area around the hospital. On the basis of these findings, in their 2022 Strategy review, ECHO’s Trustees committed to prioritising diversity and inclusivity in the charity’s future approaches and service offers.

NHS staff

Relationships with cardiac teams at local hospital across the CHD network developed throughout the year by our roles on boards, committees and by team ECHO going on the road and meeting with local NHS teams across Level 1 and 2 hospitals. Special thanks to the Princess Royal University Hospital (Orpington), the Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital (Brighton), and Watford General (Watford), whose medical teams accepted many copies of Eddie ECHO & Me for their young heart patients, gave us tours of the facilities and welcomed our youth worker to a transition clinic. A special mention and thanks to the administration and secretarial teams who have also helped to ensure the ECHO QR code appears on the bottom of children’s cardiac appointment letters, meaning families treated locally can also access ECHO’s support.

Throughout 2022 we continued to award-nominated recipients with ECHO Excellence Award. These are unique to the cardiology departments across the Evelina London, Royal Brompton Hospital, and their networks and nominations arrived from parents, carers, patients & NHS colleagues to celebrate the difference that they make to cardiac families.

Winner of January 2022: Kirsty Stewart Paediatric Cardiology Registrar “Kirsty is very kind and caring and meticulous. She pays close attention to caring for the whole family not just the patient, and goes above and beyond. She is often working late to make sure everything is complete and supports the SHOs well too.” ECHO member

Our wellness days and involvement in staff wellbeing days allow us to present ECHO to the nursing teams and provide patient and parent feedback to the cardiac teams that would not be available within the NHS. In 2022, we saw increased referrals after nurse wellbeing days, and we plan to extend this collaboration to specialist midwives in the future.

Teamwork at every level

Volunteers

Against the trend of growth across many areas of the charity, ECHO – in common with many not-for-profit organisations -- saw a huge decline in volunteers. Our numbers reduced by 89% from 72 – 8 people because, during the pandemic, we had to stop face-toface volunteering. Those who were able to help us online remained and provided key support to our communications, merchandise, and online support groups.

In 2022, thanks to all our volunteers -- like those whose contributions are shown below -- we were able to continue with ECHO Ante Natal classes, provide ECHO Teens events, run a small merchandise shop, update websites and social media, and send out fundraising appeals.

Jacob: Whilst looking at recruitment, training, and retention on one day we recruited Jacob. He was locked out of his home near the ECHO office. Needing to use a phone, he found us by chance and liked what we did. Since then, Jacob has been a regular fundraising volunteer and will move into hospital support soon.

Dawn ensures the ECHO shop is functioning, the fundraisers are contacted and our care packs are delivered, Dawn also enjoys visits to the ECHO office. And keeps stock current.

Marion has been volunteering for over 10 years and has focused time this year on the Ante Natal Classes and on telephone support, Marion has lived experience of congenital heart conditions and as her own family grow into adulthood Marion dedicates time supporting those families entering the children’s heart community.

Jean – Marie has kept our social media current and has worked from the USA and throughout her studies, with online and hybrid working, we have learned a lot from each other.

ECHO Ambassador: CHARLOTTE

Charlotte Jane, a singer, and songwriter, is still very much an active supporter of ECHO, helping to increase awareness of congenital heart disease and raising vital funds for our charity. Her nephew, Archie, was diagnosed with congenital heart disease and required heart surgery at just six days old, inspiring her song ‘All My Life’. Charlotte has been training for her first London Marathon Place in April 2023

“I’ve been wanting to do something for a while to raise some more money for the charity and next year’s marathon felt especially apt as not only is Archie due to have his big heart operation soon but it’s also ECHO’s 40th birthday.

Health and care professionals

We have close links with the teams who support ECHO children and their families throughout Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, at the Evelina London Children's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital and Guy’s Hospital. In 2022, we particularly strengthened our collaboration with Play Therapists and the Psychology Team through the design of the Lodge in outpatients, a space both teams use with cardiac patients.

Mirroring the work of our NHS colleagues managing the merger of Guy’s and St Thomas’ and the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, in 2022, ECHO laid foundations to work more closely with the Brompton Fountain Charity in order to provide continuity of high-quality support for families during service changes set out by NHS England.

Researchers

Our close collaboration with nearby centres of excellence in research and biomedical engineering at King’s College London opened up opportunities for our young people to take part in activities featuring leading-edge science and creative arts, including New Scientist Live and the Co-Production of art for the AI and Health exhibition at the Science Gallery London.

Charities

We continued to collaborate closely with other children’s heart charities, including Tiny Tickers, Little Hearts Matter, Young Hearts, CHF, and adult heart charity The Sommerville Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and the National Council for Child Health and Well-being

Corporate support

MACE corporate provided volunteers to help young people climb up and over of the 02, they also helped pack special packs for families – they are looking at ways to work with ECHO and we are excited about what opportunities we can provide. A special thanks to our corporate friends who provide excellent services at discounted rates.

Reserves policy 2022

ECHO recognises that the number of reserves we need may vary year on year, and COVID-19 brought changes to all charities. It has meant ECHO is looking closely at ensuring we can secure our future and support more families. The Trustees have agreed on the following reserves policy.

If we continue to innovate and provide & current services to those we support, additional funding will be necessary to enable these services to be provided.

Planning for unforeseen emergencies and day-to-day operational costs: ECHO supported more people than over throughout the pandemic; we learned that we must hold reserves as a contingency against unexpected expenses for the future.

Uncertainty over future income or ability to raise funds linked to the pandemic: As we rebuild our in-person services post Covid-19 ensuring vital services provide confidence.

Specific costs recognised: ECHO office plans to be demolished, meaning we must move our operations. Also, the changes to London landscape of children’s heart surgery through NHS England could double the number of families needing our support.

With this all-in mind, the Trustees now want to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level of approximately four to nine months of public charitable expenditure.

The board are reviewing our reserves on a regular basis and will designate funds for urgent items when appropriate.

A new strategy is being put in place, expanding service provision, which will increase the range, breadth, and frequency of services we provide to those we support; our investments in the services we provide will benefit more families from across the children’s heart community.

ECHO wants to ensure the services and charity can deliver the work to all who need it as well in case of another funding crisis.

Trusts and Foundations

We have worked hard to build relationships with our funders and have had some positive multiyear funding. As a result, through Trusts and Foundations, ECHO raised £153,000 in 2022. We will continue to build on our relationships as well as reaching out to new Trusts as ECHO grows.

13

Risk management

The trustee directors have assessed the risks the charity faces and has put in place policies to manage the risks. For example, the charity has plans in place to protect against a downturn in the level of our income, finances are kept under review, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are made, all members of staff have a contract of employment and comprehensive staff handbook which outlines all terms and conditions of employment and staff and volunteers working directly with children, young people or vulnerable adults are DBS checked. In 2019, we worked with Tom Searle of Britrisk Safety Limited to run risk assessment training to ECHO staff and reviewed our Health and Safety & organisation's Risk Policy, so we regularly update and review these policies.

ECHO has regular staff meetings giving our team the opportunity to review policies, and we have named a trustee as policy lead- this is helpful when presenting policies to the board.

Key Risks and Mitigations

The need for ECHO is growing across all areas of our work. We are seeing more mothers and carers attend ECHO Antenatal Classes, young people taking part in ECHO Teens , and families who want support. Some examples of risks identified in 2022 include:

As the needs for our services grow, ECHO is spending time to ensure we are resilient and here for a long time in the future.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is paramount to us, all staff undergo training provided by NSPCC or GSTT, and we ensure that all volunteers have access to training, policies, and support they need working with children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We have a safeguarding policy and a statement that is assessable via the ECHO website. All trustees, volunteers, and staff attend safeguarding training relevant to their role.

14

Structure, Governance, and Management

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee (company number 7867592). The company was incorporated on 1 December 2011 (as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 6 March 2012) and registered as a charity on 21 March 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

Recruitment and appointment of trustee directors

ECHO has a skills matrix for our board and will be recruiting according to skills and needs; we have also introduced the role of non-executive advisor to enable us to attract the skills we need on a shorter-term base.

ECHO’s priority areas to recruit in the coming years will be a board member Finance (Treasurer), and Special Advisor (young person).

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. The minimum number of trustee directors is 5, and there is no maximum. The trustee directors can be appointed in a general meeting or by the other directors. Questions arising at a meeting shall be decided by majority votes. The trustee directors are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. They give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other benefits. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in the accounts. The trustees meet approximately every 12 weeks and are responsible for decisions made in relation to the running of the charity. Members of the committee may join alternate meetings.

Plans for the future - What’s next?

Looking ahead for 2023, we plan to:
