TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
Throughout the financial year 2020 to 2021 the Charity has continued to grow and to develop. The Global COVID-19 Pandemic continued to create many challenges for us in terms of fundraising and the delivery of our supporting programmes. The pandemic caused us to cancel a number our planned fundraising activities. We were, however, throughout the year able to:
-
Continue to develop and use a range of online fundraising activities.
-
Make a number of further successful bids for funding from a range of trusts and other charities to enable us to continue to provide support to bereaved parents by:
-
Adapt our one to one and our group support sessions to comply with Government COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions. We developed our services by organising and holding meetings via Zoom and Facebook Live. We enabled those that we support in the one to one Babyloss Support Service to undertake socially distanced walks with our Bereavement Support Worker when restrictions allowed us to do so.
-
Work with other charities to raise awareness of the Lily Mae Foundation and to provide an integrated and focussed support structure to parents, families and their friends.
-
Work with other charities and key stakeholders of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Babyloss.
-
Work with other charities and key stakeholders in support of Babyloss Awareness Week 2020.
-
Continue to provide memory boxes and early gestation boxes to hospitals in the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Northern Ireland.
-
Provide memory making kits for grandparents to the hospitals that we partner.
-
Provide Sibling Support Packs to all our partner hospitals.
-
Work with Cruse Bereavement Care to plan for the restart of our counselling support days to parents and families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Miscarriage or a Medical Termination, that have been postponed due to the pandemic.
-
Work with Cruse Bereavement Care to provide supervisory support for our unique 1:1 Babyloss Support Service to parents and families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Miscarriage or a Medical Termination.
-
Grow and further develop our Rainbow Baby Group for parents and members of their families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Miscarriage or a Medical Termination who are now pregnant again or who have had a baby following a loss.
-
Develop our Pregnancy After Loss (PAL) support group.
-
Rearrange some of the planned activities for our #10TEN10 project in support of men’s mental health that were impacted by the pandemic. The decision was taken to continue the project into the coming year when restrictions allow us to do so.
-
Grow and further develop our monthly support meetings for parents and members of their families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Miscarriage or a Medical Termination.
-
Continue to develop events, at pertinent times of the year, to remember and celebrate babies born sleeping, too poorly or too early.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Activities undertaken in support of those parents and families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death or a Medical Termination
1. Memory Boxes
We continue to provide memory boxes and early gestation boxes, at a cost now of £82.58 each, to:
-
Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham
-
Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield
-
Birmingham Women’s Hospital
-
Birmingham Children’s Hospital
-
UHCW (University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire)
-
Warwick Hospital, Warwickshire

New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton
-

-
Walsall Manor Hospital
-
Princess Royal Hospital, Shrewsbury and Telford

2. Memory Making Kits for Grandparents
We have continued to distribute memory making kits for Grandparents to hospitals. These are now at a cost of £9.35 each. These include a Grandparents poem, clay print making kit with photo frame and inkless print kit that can be used to make a piece of jewelry.
3. Sibling Support Packs
Since we began to deliver Sibling Support Packs to our Hospital’s in June 2020, they have been in great demand with many positive comments received about their value. Each pack now costs £26.00 and includes an emotions journal, story book, photo frame, worry doll, pin badge, wrist band, drawstring tote bag, pens and pencils and notebook.
4. Counselling and Support
- a. Our 1:1 Babyloss Support Service. The Service continues to go from strength to strength. All of Amy’s time and workload is now spent in organising and running the Service. Amy has continued to broaden her knowledge of the needs of bereaved parents and families by undertaking further courses with Child Bereavement UK Charity. The skills learned within these CPD sessions have been very beneficial and transferrable to the bereaved parents and families that she sees. In any one working week Amy will work with approximately 18 clients on a 1:1 basis.
It is most pleasing to report that the funding that we have received has enabled us to train Ryan and to appoint and train Chantelle as additional Bereavement Support Workers to work alongside Amy and offer help and support to the ever-increasing number of parents in need.
Ryan has taken responsibility for the work with men wishing to benefit from the Service.
-
b. Counselling Days : Due to the pandemic, we have had to postpone our very successful counselling days for parents in partnership with Cruse Bereavement Care, Birmingham. We have planned to run our next day in early 2022..
-
c. Regular Support : Ongoing support and signposting is provided to parents who contact us via social media, telephone or email. We receive an average of 23 contacts per day.
-
d. Monthly Support Meeting : Meetings are scheduled and carried out on the first Tuesday of each month and take place in a local pub. Parents come together to share experiences and to support each other. During Covid some of these meetings were carried out via Zoom. When restrictions allowed us to, we held these meetings at our offices and at the British Legion in Balsall Common.

THE LILY MAE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Activities undertaken in support of those parents and families who have suffered a Stillbirth, Neonatal Death or a Medical Termination continued...
- e. Face to Face, Telephone, Website and Social Media Support : The Foundation provides help and support and detailed and current information via face-to-face meetings, telephone calls, our website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to bereaved parents, families, counsellors and those who work in the care and medical professions with regard to Stillbirth and Neonatal death. We average 20 phone calls per week. We receive, on average, 600 website hits each day. At present, we have 7612 followers on Facebook who access our support and information. Currently, we have 2032 followers on Twitter and 1856 followers on Instagram who also access our support and information.
We have seen a huge increase in demand for our services due to the continuing pandemic and the increased isolation felt by bereaved parents due to the lockdowns and the short time that they are allowed to spend in hospital resulting in reduced initial bereavement support.
5. Little Shining Lights Remembrance Service
We organised and ran our seventh very successful Service on 6th December 2020. Due to the restrictions in place for public gatherings, we organised for this Service to be broadcast through our Facebook and Instagram pages for those parents and families who were unable to attend in person. We placed our Christmas tree for dedications in the church grounds and found that it was heavily attended.
6. Wave of Light Celebrations
A celebration and remembrance service was held on 15th October 2020 in conjunction with the international Wave of Light movement. Again due to the restrictions in place for public gatherings, we organised for this Celebration to be broadcast through our Facebook and Instagram pages for those parents and families who were unable to attend in person. Candles were lit and ribbons were tied to a special tree to remember those babies born sleeping, too poorly or too early. We also arranged and paid for Birmingham’s Library, Town Hall and Symphony Hall to be lit in pink and blue on 15 October to mark International Wave of Light. We have planned to do the same in 2021 and to increase the number of buildings lit by working with those responsible for notable landmarks in Birmingham.
7. Research
The Trustees continue to foster links and build relationships with a range of medical professionals to support research projects into the causes and prevention of Stillbirth, Neonatal Death, Miscarriage and Medical Termination. We continue to be the PPI (Patient and Public Involvement) Advisor to the CERM (Chronic Endometritis and Recurrent Miscarriage) phase III trial sponsored by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust along with Warwick University Clinical Trials Unit, Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham.
8. Peer Support Worker (PSW) for the Perinatal Mental Health Services (BSMHFT) in BSol (Birmingham and Solihull.
We were approached by BSol to manage a PSW. After interview we appointed Nicola Klein. She took up her post in July 2021 on a rolling 1 year contract funded by the NHS.
Maternal Mental Health Service (MMHS) is a new service within perinatal mental health services (BSMHFT) in BSol (Birmingham and Solihull). As an early implementer site, the service spans Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, Solihull Hospital and Birmingham Women’s Hospital, focusing on perin atal loss and birth trauma. The service provides
-
specialist psychological assessment to women, and their partners who have experienced perinatal loss and associated mental health difficulties

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The Organisation and Delivery of Fundraising Events & Activities Undertaken
During the year 2020 to 2021, The Foundation has continued to schedule a range of events and activities, which are now ‘fixed’ in our Charity calendar. Unfortunately, due to the COVID -19 Pandemic we had to postpone our Golf Day and Evening Dinner Dance fundraiser scheduled for April and rearrange it for October when restrictions allowed large gatherings. Our Fun Run in September was able to go ahead as planned. We were able to organise and run a number of small online fundraising activities which brought in some funding throughout the year.
We have continued to make bids to a range of trusts and organisations for funding support. In June we appointed a consultant bid writer to work with us for two days per month. We have already seen this investment pay off with a number of successful applications bringing in funding..
Some of the major fundraising events and activities that have been undertaken are:
-
We developed the #10TEN10 Campaign, in early 2020 which involved 10 bereaved fathers participating in 10 challenging events over 10 days throughout the year in support of men’s mental health and wellbeing following the loss of a baby. Unfortunately, many of the planned activities had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic but as restrictions have been slowly lifted, we are seeing the planned programme slowly getting back on track..
-
We sold Christmas cards nationwide.
-
We organised 5 online quiz nights.
-
We will hold our twelfth annual Golf Day at The Belfry Hotel in October 2021.
-
We were able to defer our Golf Day prize raffle draw, scheduled for April until November 2021.
-
We arranged for 63 individuals to Skydive for the Charity at Hinton Skydiving Centre throughout the year. Unfortunately, not all individuals were able to jump due to the COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions. Those who did jump raised over £7,000. We are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule the jumps for those who were unable to take part in 2022.
-
The Foundation organised the seventh Fun Run in Balsall Common in September as we came out of lockdown and restrictions were eased. Despite the reticence of some runners to take part due to the Pandemic, we saw some 650 runners participate.
Activities Planned in Support of Those Who Have Suffered a Stillbirth or Neonatal Death
We plan to:
-
a. Continue to supply Memory Boxes to our local hospitals and to support our widening network with Memory Box provision. Currently we supply memory boxes to 11 hospitals in the West Midlands and Warwickshire and to 2 hospitals in Northern Ireland. In the year we donated some 650 Boxes.
-
b. Continue to develop our successful partnership with Cruse Bereavement Care, Birmingham to offer further counselling days and to explore a range of further support strategies for children, the wider family and friends.
-
c. Continue to work with Cruse Bereavement Care to further develop our bereavement support that can be offered to parents and families from our offices.
-
d. Continue to develop and grow our Babyloss Support Service, a unique one to one support for bereaved parents.

-
f. Organise a Sibling Support Day in 2022.
-

Financial review
The net surplus for the year arising from net income from activities and fund-raising events, and donations received, and not yet spent by the year-end, is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.
At the end of the financial year 2021 our unrestricted funds were at £166,313 (2020 - £120,381), which is the equivalent of 8 months (2020 - 9 months) worth of running costs. This is within our policy of keeping 6 - 9 months' worth of running costs in reserve. These reserves are essential due to the nature of the services and supporting programmes that we deliver to bereaved parents and families, and the fact that we run a number of contracts which are paid monthly, in arrears.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Fixtures and fittings Straight Line over 4 years Computers Straight Line over 3 years Motor vehicles Straight Line over 3 years
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.6 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.7 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
