CHAIR’S FOREWORD

This year we celebrated our tenth year as a charity and I am pleased to say that we have gone from strength to strength. It has of course been another challenging year for all of us but with our usual determination and innovation we have found ways to continue to raise funds and contribute to our key objectives of providing bereavement training, support and counselling, hospital equipment and infrastructure.

We have maintained a healthy financial position throughout and ensured that our governance rules and procedures are transparent, clear and current. That has helped enormously in in our ability to attract grant funding from so many wonderful organisations keen to support the work we do.

We have a small but dedicated team which has worked incredibly hard to ensure that we continue to deliver our usual high standards and put the charity on a great footing for it's next ten years. I would like to thank them as well as the countless people who have contributed in one way or another over the past year and indeed the past ten years. As is always the case, whatever we do is entirely down to your hard work, generosity and goodwill.

Kamal Aggarwal Chairman

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS102) published 0n 16 July 2014, as amended by bulletin 1 & 2.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the charity are:

• (a) To promote the health and wellbeing and to relieve the suffering of parents arid their families, friends and carers who suffer bereavement through the death of a baby before or at birth.

• (b) To advance the knowledge and expertise of healthcare professionals and others in supporting and dealing with the effects of such a death on the bereaved.

Our Aim

1. All midwives to be fully trained, inspired and compassionate when dealing with Bereaved families.

2. By making the best use of Hospital architecture and layout, funding sensitively designed delivery rooms located away from maternity wards.

3. For each maternity unit to have the necessary equipment to preserve a stillborn baby until at least the day after the mothers discharge from hospital.

Statement on Public Benefit

The objectives and activities, and achievement and performance sections of this report clearly set out the activities which the charity undertakes for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievements and Performance

This year Abigail’s Footsteps commemorated 10 years but as we all know it wasn’t the year anyone had planned for, the arranged gala dinner had to be postponed due to the pandemic and fundraising events were sadly cancelled, however despite the necessary changes, the charity adapted to the uncertain climate, the highlight was our first online auction which raised over £19,000 and was deemed a huge success.

The positives were the launch of the Abigail’s Angels Bereavement Training Programme, 20 hospitals were due to have inhouse training but this changed to a virtual programme, again highlighting how quickly we adapted as a charity to meet our objectives of improving standards of care given to bereaved parents with over 600 health care professionals benefitting from the training. Our baby loss counselling sessions for parents also moved online instead of face to face, delivering over 300 sessions throughout the year. We were delighted to receive funding from so many Trusts this year towards our counselling programme, including; Community Foundation of Surrey, Cobtree Charity Trust, Chapman Charitable Trust, The Mrs Smith & Mount Trust and The Albert Hunt Trust.

We were proud sponsors of the 10th neonatal palliative and end of care conference hosted by Child Bereavement UK in Leeds. The event was designed to benefit those who work in the healthcare sector, including; midwives, fetal medicine teams, neonatal and paediatric teams or those with a palliative care background with babies and children.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Achievements and Performance (continued)

‘Abigail the Bear’ was revealed at a pre-race meet up for London Landmarks Half Marathon, although the marathon was postponed due to the pandemic it was lovely to see her in full action. Thank you to Colin Jarvis at MEMS Power Generation for sponsoring our new charity mascot who will run alongside our running teams at all future races and events. Becky Hopkins, Abigail’s Footsteps Manager of Fundraising & Events personally raised over £5,000 as part of the London Landmarks Half Marathon team target, through an event held at Rochester & Cobham Golf Club in March.

We welcomed support from Kent Community Foundation and Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust, gratefully receiving Coronavirus resilience grants from both Trusts, which we used to support the charity through the pandemic so we could continue with the services we offer, even though our normal fundraising events were on hold. A grant from Fidelity UK Foundation Kent Community Development Fund meant we could create a Customer Relationship Management system, making it so much easier for our charity to communicate and keep in touch with our supporters and donors.

We were delighted to announce and welcome Louise Giblin as our new Vice President. Speaking about her role Louise said, "Abigail’s Footsteps is a really worthwhile and essential charity that supports bereaved parents and raises awareness of this devastating, but all too common, loss. Abigail’s Footsteps is a lasting testament to love and a reminder that supporting others can give each of us strength."

Working for another year in partnership with Rochester Cathedral, we streamed a service read by Canon Sue Brewer and poems read by three bereaved parents, a lovely tribute as part of Wave of Light. Ben Gibbs & his team at Visual Elements offered their professional services for another year and lit the Cathedral pink & blue for Baby Loss Awareness Week.

We took the decision to temporarily pause production of the Abi Cooling Cot at the end of 2019. We did this to allow us time to take a closer look at the design of the cot, in particular we wanted to ensure that the temperature of the cot would not be easily compromised when in situ in hospitals with very warm environments. We are extremely grateful to Judith Evans, Director at Refrigeration Developments and Testing Ltd (RD&T) who has administered robust tests to the cot and made some valuable design improvements. The new improved Abi Cooling Cot mark 2 is now back in production, produced by our supporters at The Bond Group.

Financial Review

The charity’s main source of income is generated from fundraising events held throughout the year. During the year the charity raised funds totalling £150,006 (2019: £139,288) from public collections, events and donations.

During the year, the resources expended amounted to £68,112 (2019: £76,555), of this £35,223 (2019: £24,769) was for bereavement support. The results for the year was a surplus of £81,894 (2019: surplus of £62,733).

The fund balances carried forward at 31 December 2020 were £180,511 (2019: £98,617).

Reserves Policy

The Charity aims to maintain unrestricted funds in perpetuity and at a level that will provide income for the Charity’s sustainable and long-term future.

The Charity acknowledges the volatility of its levels of generated income and its trustees have committed to setting aside an unrestricted reserve of £30,000 (2019: £25,000) to mitigate against potential income fluctuation. The current level of unrestricted reserves is £107,911 (2019: £55,523). The charity also holds £72,600 (2019: £43,094) of restricted funds.

The reserve policy will be reviewed on an annual basis.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of Abigail’s Footsteps for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which 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 year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102) ;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

ABIGAIL’S FOOTSTEPS (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation

Abigail’s Footsteps is a company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out on page 2.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

Voluntary income including donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Charitable Activity Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Investment income is included when receivable.

1.3 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

• Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.

• Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

1.4 Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 5.

11

ABIGAIL’S FOOTSTEPS (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1.5 Funds accounting

Unrestricted general funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when donors specify the purpose for which income can be used.

Designated funds represent funds invested in fixed assets. The designated fund balance has been represented to ensure that fund balance stated accurately reflects the designation policy adopted by the Trustees.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

All assets costing more than £500 have been capitalised and are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the financial year after acquisition.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

1.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.9 Taxation

The company is a registered charity and is therefore entitled to the exemptions from corporation tax afforded by section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly, there is no corporation tax charge in these financial statements.

1.10 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

1.11 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

No key judgements have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies.

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
