CHAIR’S WELCOME

It is estimated that 40% of the population suffer with sleep issues impacting on their mental health.*

The Sleep Charity’s mission is to empower the nation to sleep better. Our dedicated team provide vital evidence-based sleep information and support to those in need across the country. Our work is diverse to enable us to reach those most in need and involves training professionals so that they are equipped with the knowledge and techniques to improve sleep on a wider scale. Unfortunately, the impact of sleep issues are often not recognised and support is often a postcode lottery. To address this health inequality the charity campaign to raise awareness about the value of a good night’s sleep and to ensure those with sleep issues get the support that they need and deserve.

Covid-19 has presented us all with significant challenges. During the last year there has been a huge increase in sleep issues because of increased anxiety levels, disruption of routines, reduced opportunity to exercise and more screen usage. Our work is needed now more than ever before.

Our staff team is small, consisting of just 5 employees of which only 3 are full-time. The task they have faced in offering support to those with sleep issues over the last year has been enormous. Due to financial limitations the decision had to be made to furlough two members of the team for a short period of time. Despite this, we continued to keep our doors open and provide our regular services to those in need.

The pandemic has brought significant financial challenges for the charity. In previous years approximately 80% of our income was self-generated through the delivery of face-to-face training. We are proud to be trusted to train NHS staff across the country.

Unfortunately, this income stream which provides core funding was no longer available and it became necessary to adapt quickly to the challenges that Covid-19 was presenting us with.

Despite the difficulties faced, the last 12 months have been a period of incredible transformation and growth to meet the needs of our beneficiaries. We have developed an e-learning platform, new IT systems and successfully merged with The Sleep Council, a not-for-profit information sharing board. We have appointed an expert advisory board to ensure our materials are of the highest quality. The team were honoured to receive the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Services, the highest accolade a charity can receive.

As we continue to work against the backdrop of Covid-19, sleep issues continue to rise and become more complex. We have developed a new strategic plan which will navigate us through these difficult times and we have strengthened our Board of Trustees with the addition of a trustee with specialism around safeguarding.

I would like to thank our staff, volunteers, our supporters and partners for their tremendous efforts. We are determined to continue to develop our offering to ensure improved sleep at a national level with wide reaching effects on mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER AND CEO

Being a leader with lived experience, I know first-hand, the devastating impact that sleep issues can have, particularly when there is no support available. I am passionate about developing the reach of the charity to support those in need. We have made great advances during the last 12 months to strengthen our offering at a national level despite the challenges that Covid-19 has presented us with; loss of income and increased demand for support.

The launch of our Teen Sleep Hub has provided a platform to offer young people support, empowering them to learn about sleep through the use of our e-learning book. Our volunteer Sleep Practitioners provide an online live chat facility. This project has reached 24,305 young people since its launch in October 2020.

Our sleep services have continued to flourish, we have provided support to 2,193 families during the year. In addition to our services in Doncaster and Bassetlaw we have established services this year in Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire, more than doubling the number of sleep clinics we provide. Enquiries from Clinical Commissioning Groups are rising, and we are confident that we will add more services to our offering within the next 12 months.

24,305 2.2hrs

The Sleep Charity mounted an incredible response to the pandemic, keeping our services open throughout. Virtual sleep clinics have been highly successful, and technology has been used to support members of our community feeling isolated. It was key that those who needed our support during these uncertain times should be able to access it. Evaluation by the team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital clearly evidences the success of this approach with sleep duration increasing for youngsters by on average 2.2 hours per night during lockdown. These changes have provided solid a foundation on which to build, extending our reach significantly.

There have been many highlights during this year, acquiring The Sleep Council in July was amongst these. Working together we are stronger, and this has significantly strengthened our offering allowing us to raise our profile to influence policy, change attitudes about sleep and secure sleep support for those in need across the nation. Receiving the Queen’s Award was an honour and well-deserved recognition for our volunteers who support our work in many different ways.

Looking to the future we have developed an ambitious but realistic strategic plan to support organisational growth. Our finances were already stretched and the increased demand for support has increased our challenges. We have identified new sources of income with corporate partnerships playing an increasingly important role in our work. I would like to thank all those who have provided funding to support our mission during the last year, your support is greatly appreciated.

We know that our work makes a significant difference to mental health and wellbeing and is needed more than ever before. We are committed to build on the success of this year and explore new, efficient ways to offer support to help as many people suffering sleep issues as possible.

THE SLEEP CHARITY

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE COVID 19 AND SLEEP

Sleep issues have increased over the last year with Covid-19 having a significant impact.

Several factors have contributed including increased anxiety levels, reduced opportunities for exercise, disruptions to routine and more screen time. Many of those that we have supported have experienced cancelled appointments and assessments from statutory services. We were already supporting families at crisis point, in many cases we are now the only support they are receiving.

More evidence-based sleep support information through the launch of our new website resulting in 57,658 visitors to the site from December to March, this is an increase of 4,489%.

The Sleep Charity chose to continue to operate despite the challenges faced which included a reduction in staff as a result of financial constraints. We are proud that we have been able to provide:

Webinars for 32 organisations to support their staff to improve their sleep and wellbeing

Virtual drop-in sessions for 1,084 families, allowing them to access sleep information and support at their convenience

E-learning training for 399 parent/ carers to empower them with sleep information to support them to make changes to improve their family’s sleep thanks to the launch of our new platform

Sleep journals for the hardest to reach young people in South Yorkshire by training 54 practitioners who engage with them within the community

Establish an Instagram presence (with 585 followers) to allow us to engage with young people more effectively

Sleep clinics virtually to 710 families, reducing their feelings of isolation and loneliness and supporting improved sleep patterns

THE SLEEP CHARITY

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

ESTABLISHING AN ADVISORY BOARD

To ensure our work is of the highest quality and evidence base we have developed an advisory board named ‘The Sleep Council’.

Made up of a 20-strong team, the Advisory Board helps to shape the future of sleep support nationally and plays a vital role around providing advice, challenge and scrutiny on key issues and programmes. The professionals’ expertise spans across sleep, sport science, nutrition, menopause, mental health, sleep research, primary care, public health, sensory processing, CBTi and medical sleep disorders.

PARTNERSHIP WORKING

We cannot achieve all that we do by working alone.

Partnership working whether that be with families, young people, individuals or organisations is at the heart of our work. We have been delighted to work with a number of leading organisations during the year to strengthen our cause.

These include:

National Bed Federation

Mattress Online

Royal Society for Public Health

Aardman Productions Back to School with Shaun campaign

Kidscape Anti-Bullying Week

Snuz Sleep Support Month

FUNDING FOR OUR WORK

We are hugely grateful to every single supporter, without you we would not be able to offer the vital support that the Sleep Charity provides.

OTHER FUNDING

NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND

With our team all based at home, we were grateful for funding from The Clothworkers Foundation to support with the provision of equipment to work remotely. Our volunteers continue to play an important role in our work and we were grateful to receive funding from the Archer Trust and Doncaster Rotary Club, St George, to support them.

In Lincolnshire we were awarded a three year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to set up sleep support services for families. This service has been inundated with requests for help and we reached our annual target within the first six months. The lottery also kindly funded an extension grant that helped us to move our training to an e-learning platform. This support was of vital importance in allowing us to transform our service delivery and maintain income that we rely so heavily on for our core costs.

Sharing our message more widely is a key part of our strategic plan. A grant from Sheffield Social Enterprise Exchange has allowed us to develop our website and access support around marketing.

NATIONAL LOTTERY COVID-19 FUND

We have continued to provide sleep services to Clinical Commissioning Groups in Doncaster, Bassetlaw, Bury and more recently North Yorkshire. The funding allows us to provide services to families in these geographical areas.

The National Lottery have also provided Covid-19 funding for vital work to support the most hard to reach young people in South Yorkshire. This has allowed us to pilot training for professionals and to develop journals to support the young people in making change. We able to build on this learning and develop the materials further with a view to expanding the scheme nationally. We also secured funding from The Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund to develop our Teen Sleep Hub, a much needed resource to support young people during the pandemic. The Fore provided important funding to support the strategic development of the charity. We had planned to grow the charity to meet the increased demand that we were facing, this is now even more important given the impact that Covid-19 has had on the nation’s sleep. The Masonic Charitable Foundation continued to support our work by providing funding towards our administrative support allowing us to respond to those in need in a timely manner, for which we are extremely grateful.

We have received several kind donations from both individuals and from corporate organisations. Thanks to Christine Jackson, Issy Fale Choir, Boots, Dr Sophie Bostock, Manchester United Foundation and the team at Mattress Online. Our special thanks go to the family and friends of Sam Peacock who donated in memory of his life.

As part of our acquisition of The Sleep Council, the National Bed Federation have kindly agreed to donate to our organisation for a three year period.
