Light Peer Support Ltd
Chalrfs Report
This is the twelfth annual report for Light Peer Support Ltd (Lightl.
I continue to be incredibly proud to represent Light Peer Support. As one of the founding
members of the charity it means a huge amount to me to be able to say that we are in our twelfth
year of support for the families of South Yorkshire during pregnancy and after having had a baby.
This year has continued to bring immense challenges for families, for volunteers, for staff and for
Light. l am proud of the resilience we have shown and the progress we have made post pandemi
to begin to return to 'nomial'_ whatever that might bel IVS clear that the Covid 19 Pandemic has
had a lasting impact on many businesses and individuals and it is not that easy just to go back to
how it was. Service users have had a different type of service over the last two years and staff
have got accustomed to working at home and providing support in a dtfferent way
This year has seen us consolidate the support we provide through our contracts with Sheffield City
Council and the Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster Perinatal Mentsl Health Service, we have
worked hard to meet and exceed deltvery tsrgets and value the support and strong relationship
we have formed with both. In addition to this we have succes5fv1ty secured additional funding via
our local Clinical Commissioning Groups to devek>p the cultural sensitNity of our peer support
offer by the recruitment of a Black and Minority Ethnic IBAMEI Peer Support Development
Worker. We also secured non-recurrent statutory sector funding to expand our accommodation to
facilitate the shift post covid from virtual to face to face Servi￿ delivery and increased group
offers. Additionally. we have been able to improve our data/information management
infrastructure by procuring a CRM which will facilttate the setvice userjourney with Light. whilst at
the same time enable needs assessment and information provision to our funders.
Our main fonn of sUPPOrt to families had been physical support groups and this was obviousty no
longer possible once lockdown Started. In the latter part of 2021 we were able to Start planning
for face to face conversations and throw our attention to how we might adopt back to office
working and make best use of the counselling space that we have. We have begun to increase fa
to face support once again and re-instate some of the support groups. We are still offering remote
sijpport via virtual chat facilities and of course phone, email and the forum. The word 'hybrid' has
become commonplace in discussions around sUPPOrt models for seThice users but there is an
enthusiasm to get the right offer available for each indFvidual.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all our families, stsff, volunteers, funders and
SUPF)Orters, without you all we could not continue to deliver this vital support. the pandemic has
impacted hugely on families having a baby or who have young children and the support we offer is
a lifeline for many.

About Light
Light Peer Support Ltd (Light) is a registered charity providing support to women and their families
who are affected by mental health problems in pregnancy and around childbirth in Sheffield,
Rotherham and Doncaster. ￿ght does not employ health professionals and cannot prescribe
medication - we provide peer support via face to face one to ones, supwrt groups, buddying, text
and email support. Light was founded in July 2010 by Louise Heard and Karen Beetham, two
mothers with a history of post natal depression and Savi Robinson, was an NHS Volunteer at
the time.
Mlsslon and oblectlves of Llzht
Light aims to reduce isolation. reduce stigma. and increase Confiden￿ in parenthood. We aim to
promote and enhance we15-being in this period to allow for those struggling to reduce isolation
and adjust to becoming a parent: interdct with their babies and enjoy life as new parents.
It is common for mothers suffering from depression to stay inside. isolate themselves and worry
that people will see them as a bad mother.
Light's long term vision is to establish a centrally located ￿ntre that will be accessible to mothers
and Provide a safe place where they can feel secure enough to come, receive support and talk
about their illness Wlth others who have experienced their Illness and who are now recovered.
promoting ￿COVery through self help.
Mothers often experience difficulties accessing psychological seThices. partitularly where there are
childcare issues and the ￿Trtre will aim to provide a coun5elling room where these services can be
offered.
Light also aims to raise awareness of postnatal depression throughout Sheffield, Rotherham,
Doncaster and further afield by being involved in the training of other voluntary and statutory
organisations. so that they can recognise the symptoms of postnatal depression and can be
preventative rather than reattive when they encounter a mother with these issues.
The objertives of Light are the promotion of any Charitab￿ purpose directed to alleviating those
who suffer from postnatsl depression and pregnanry4elated illnesses and. in particular, the relief
of 5ickne55 and protection and promotion of good health Iboth physical and mentall by the
provision of support and counselling and the adwancement in education in matters relating to
postnatal depression and pregnancy- related illnesses and their effects in particular by the
provision of advice andgu1daft￿.

Analysis of Need
Postnatal depression is a worldwide phenomena for reasons that are Unk￿Wn. though causes and
effective treatments are being re5eorched. There is good research into the incidence, which is 10%
to 15% following childbirth. For example, Sheffield has a birthrate of approx. 6CU)15723 live births
in 20211, Doncaster. 3,333 live births and Rotherham: 2,814 live births. This means an estimate
across these regions of 1187 to 1780 women who will suffer mental health problems around the
time of childbirth each year. 12021 figures:ONS ststs from NOMIS on 31. Oct 221
What has Light done this year?
In shaping otjr objectives for the year and planning our attNities. the trustees have considered the
Charity Commission's guidance on public benefft. including the guidance 'public benefit: running
charity IPB21'.
Stsffing
We have seen some changes in staffing, Helen Miles, Chief Executive was appointed in June 2021,
we then successfully recruited to two Peer Support Workers and a new Peer Support Co-
ordinator. However. thi5 was followed by the resignation of our Business Manager and a Peer
Support Worker who both left to pursue career development opportunittes. In this period we have
reviewed our business infrastructure requirements. making the decision to invest in systems to
support our charity operations. We have been reviewing our people reqiJirement5 and are looking
to appoint a new Business Manager and a CharitylBusiness Development Manager this financial
year.
Referrals
Light continues to receNe referrals from professionals and men and vnmen who self-identify as
needing support with their mental wellbeing in the perinatsl period. We are a150 seeing different
types of referrals, for example
concerned friends and relatives. We worked with health care
professionals to improve the referral pathways into our service, which has consequently enabled
U5 to reach more mums. Self-referral accounts for the bulk of our referrals.
Support ft>rwomen and families
We have responded to 342 enquiries in this period offerin8 initial support and signpostin8 where
appropriate. This inittal support and being 3vailable on the tÈlÈphone mèy be all that ts required.
228 people registered with us for ongoing support. of these opting for I:1 support. 198 Service
Users CoMmen￿d l-l support in this period. Face to face sessions are offered primarily from Light
in Sheffield. but we also offer these from other venues in Sheffield, Doncaster & RotherhaFll. We
also offer l-l support via video fdll. telephone. text or email supwrt. Support is initially offered
for 6 sessions. but this can and does continue for further sessions as if required.
We provided virtual online support Eroups throughout lockdown. following easing of ￿StriCtIonS
we started to resume our face- face support group offer in November 2021. By the end of June
2022 we had resumed our support group offer across Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster. We
continue to explore new locations to offer group support. Support groups are primarily provided
from Children's Centres or Family Hubs.
We opened our Light Rooms in January 2022. our new group Spa￿ is proving very successful. we
have been able to offer "drop in" support and offer a variety of different groups. for example
Music Groups, Craft Session. Pregnant Parents group, Baby Massage in addition to offering group
space for Light's Perinatal Mental Health Partners. We intend continuing to expand our setvi
offer from our rooms at Knowle House to develop our Wision for the Light Hub, open not just when
group5 are running.

We offer our Servi￿ to Dads and partners and continue to raise awareness of this element of our
service offer.
There is evidence that mothers who go through trauma during their birth or pregnancy are more
susceptible to mental heatth issues. We have been able to develop our support for people who
suffer emotional and mental health difficulties following childbirth by recrutting to a peer support
worker role to focus on this support. This post was funded via the local CCGS and is part of the
Socal matemal mental health service offer. This role has proved very successful. we received 45
referrals in the first year of service delivery and are currently receiving 8- 10 referrals each month.
We ore building on the outcome of the implementation of Covid 19 CommunFty Perinatal Peer
Support training programme and recruited a Peer Support Development Worker to develop our
peer support offer to BAME communities and improve our cultural sensitivity to under
represented groups. This provided a platForni to develop a successful bid with Sheffield Hallam
University which has resulted in projert funding from NHS England for 6 months to develop a
proof of COn￿pt for a digital solution to addresses inequalitie5 in perinatal mental health, this is
being taken forward with the local Arab community.
Light has a reputation for delivering a timely response to enquiries with a response to referrers
within 48 hoLtrs. l-l Support from a Peer Support Worker is the first cholce of support for most
seThice users, this support is reviewed after 6 sessions to ensure the seNice user is continuing to
benefit from this service offer and isn't MO￿ suwted to group SLtpport as part o* their recovery
journey. The concept of -being there-, -not feeling alone" is a common theme of feedback from
our service users.
Lighys availability via the on-line forum and social media provides comfort to our service users
and is very much an integral part of our sep4ice offer.
Counselling servke
We have continued the Light counselling service that we started 2018. Lighys counselling capacity
has remained the same with 5 trainee counsellors offering interventions. Covid operating
conditions required the move to the provision of therapy virtually either by video or telephone
contact. The opening of the Light room5 has enabled the provision of 2 counselling rooms which
ha5 provided dedicated therapy Space, wÉth a return to fa￿ to face delivery in Spring 2022. The
service continues to receive very ￿&t￿e feedback.
Premises
Light has been able to expand its accommodation within the Same bullding at Knowle House. A
large group room. dedicated office and counselling/l-I space, and kitchen has added to our
service offer, and reduce the competition we had for Spa￿ to meet with seNite users. We have
been able to hold training courses on site. have a drop in facility. run various groups and enable
partners to run complimentary groups. The dedicated office space has provided invaluable in
SUPPOrting the p05t lockdown return to the work space and move away from home workin&
5UPPOrting team development.

Volunteers
Implementation of Lockdown restrictions impacted on our volunteer workforce as the majority of
volunteers provided assistance and support at face to fa￿ groups throughout Sheffield, Doncaster
and Rotherham. In this period we had interest from 38 people exploring volunteering for Light,
however this only resulted in 11 volunteers commencing volunteering after mandatory training
and induction. Changing social and economic circumstances has impacted on our ability to recrLtit
and retain volunteers but the situation is now impfoving.
Fundralslng
Lockdown imparted on our ability to fundraise in term5 of restrictions on face to face activity and
staff deployment to increased 1=1 activity with Servi￿ users. However. we raised funds via the
following platforms:
Amazon Smi
CharÉties Trust
Easy fundraising
Facebook Donate
We have now moved to Stripe as our donatton plafftirni with donor signpostin8 to our website
following the closure of Virgin Money Gwing.
Raising Awareness
Raising awareness continues to be a major aim of Light. continuing to work with others so women
and families know that support is available. Lockdown affected our ability to deliver fo￿ - face
awareness raising events. This has improved since the easing of Lockdown restrictions with Light
staff now attending events to EKJth false awareness and promote Light's service offer. In this
period we planned the development and launch of the Podcast 5eries.on a Lighter Note" with the
rirst episode going live on I" August 2022. with 12 episodes published to date.

Social Media
Our Peer Support Co-ordinators tske the lead on Social Media. Our Fa￿book followers and reach
has continued to grow in this period.
Light staff aim to create and post content related to our service users and their families, often
topics which come up at group or through our one-to-one support are then created into a social
media to show and share support. We try to show our service users that we understand the
demands of parenthood and the implications this can bring on our mental health, whilst
encouraging them to seek support and signposting to other services when appropriate.
For example, throughout the festive period. light are aware of the impacts and pressure this can
bring upon parents and the effects this may have on their mental health as a result. Our focus was
to remind parents that they are enough and that sometimes social media causes us to compare to
otherfs unrealistic standard5. One follower commented 'l'm five years into parenthood and this 15
still a hard one to rernember. But yes, we all have dtfferent 'coping levels, and shouldn't compare
ourselves to others. This applies all the time. not just the fe5tTrve season. Be kind to yourself '
We also shared other parents, journeys who struggled during the festive season with their
periftatal mental health. This related well to our followers with comments such as 'Rachel, what a
journey. your story will help others ￿ and 'Such a tough read but lovely to see a happy ending!
Getting the word out there is 50 vitsI.'
We often share and signpost other services which we feel are relevant to our following this
includes; PANDAS. SANDS. Mtscarriage Associatton. The Psychology Mom.
We also promote and share service5 provided by the perinatal mentsl health and family hubs
across South Yorkshire. Examples include. promoting an expressrve writing course. sleep classes,
crafting sessions, Sensory play sessions and well-being walk
Finally we work together with our fijnders and other organisation to gather feedback to improve
services. Recentty advertising the Cks years seNices feedback survey.

some fun and easy techniques that can be used with your little ones to help them express and
understand how they may be feeling.
This included things such as, the worryjar. worry tree and expressing emotions worksheets.
We opened the floor for our followers to share and express things they find helpful with their little
ones. One follower commented We used the colour monster from 18 months. With the littlest
one when she frustrated we give her a teddy to squeeze and teach her safe outlets, and another
mum '1 think these are brilliant ideas!.
We also took part in volunteerfs week with the hope to recruit and thank those who we have on
board. During this time we shared one of our volunteers stories.
We also took part in Father's Mentsl Health Day and the importance of recognizinE fathers/
partners needs during the perinatal period.
Our online forum provides a confidential space for our Servi￿ users, where they can find
reassurance. Light continues to share and promote the use of the online forum and its benefits to
service users and their families. We will continue to post and Share our own experien￿, tips and
useful things we have found as part of our peer support offer.
