COVID-19: Global Pandemic In March of 2020, the UK and most of the world suffered the full effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. This unknown disease caused the lockdown of most countries including the UK, and as such the shutting down ofthe UK economy.
The Mariposa Trust Report of the Trustees 202012021 During the lockdown and subsequent restrictions. the work of the charity continued unabated, and the charity saw an increase in people requiring support. However, this was also met with a reduction in the time that volunteers had available to assist the charity, las many were having to home school children, provide care for family members, volunteer for covid-related initiatives and more,) which increased the workload of the core team at the charity. The charity saw the following increases in the demand for support: People experiencing baby loss in isolation, whether at horne, with a lack of any support around them, or whether in hospital, with no support with them. Thls led to significant increases in trauma, mental health issues, PTSD and more. People who had experienced historic baby loss engaging with their grief. The pandemic provided people with time to process previous grief and trauma, which people are normally too busy to do. With people having no work, or a reduced ability to work, this meant that people suddenly started to process previous losses, and with a wave of global grief due to the pandemic, this triggered unprocessed grief in many people. People needing support, due to the inability of the NHS to provide ongoing assistance due to medical staff bein8 reassigned due to Covid. The trustees were aware in February 2020thatthere were increasingconcerns over Covid, and as such made decision to postpone its flagship fundraising event, the Mariposa Ball from March 2020 to September 2020. Due to the ongoing pandemic during the 20121 FY, the ball then had to be rescheduled to March 2021 and then the ball was rescheduled for a fourth time, and eventually took place in September 2021, almost 18- months late. In late 2019, the charity secured funding to purchase entries at 'A marathons races around the UK. Having secured similar funding in previous years where the charity had seen on average a 4CN)OA return on this funding, the charity decided to diversify frorn places at one race, to place5 at five races, and increase from 40 places to 62 places. In early 2020 the charity officially launched 'Race For Love,, a new sports focused fundraising project, only to have all of the races postponed from 2020 until 2021 due to the pandemic, which once again had a major impact on yearly income. The races eventually took place in the Autumn of 2021. The charity has always seen the majority of its yearly income raised via fundraising projects and events, as well as by singular individual or corporate donations. With the rise of the pandemic in early 2020, Iduring the second quarter of the charities financial year,) nearly all of the normal fundraising projects and events were cancelled, and donations reduced, as people around the UK were furloughed or laid off, and companies shut down. The result of the cancelled fundraising, postponed events and decreased donations. was a decrease in income for the 201912020 FY resulting in charity reserves being utilised. The trustees were conscious of the continued effect of the pandemic during the 202012021 FY, and reserves had to be used to offset shortfalls in income during the first three-quarters of the FY. To cornbat this, the trustees continued to keep expenditure as low as possible; however, in the final quarter of the FY, Aug-oct 21, fundraising resumed, and a more normal level of income was restored.
The Mariposa Trust Report of the Trustees 202012021 Objects The objects of the charity are the protection and preservation of good health of parents and their families afferted by gestational loss, stillbirth or death of a baby, in particular but not exclusively by the holding of commemorative services and the provision of a variety of support Services including a national telephone helpline, befriending groups, counselling and therapy. UK Issue: Baby loss has been an issue for thousand5 of years, however over recent years, earlier pregnancv testing has led to people finding out from as early as 4-weeks that they are pregnant. This, however, means that they are also then aware from an earlier stage if they suffer a loss. In the UK, miscarriage continues to affect around l-in4 pregnancies or around 250,000 each year, with around 3,800 Stillbirths, and a similar number of Neonatal and Early Years losses. Even though there have been reductions, the UK continues to fall well short of many Western Developed nations in levels of Stillbirths. International= Baby loss is a global issue with an estimated 23 million miscarriages ILancet Report 20211, 2.6 million stillbirths ILancet Report 20161, and 5.495 million neonatal and early years, losses IWHO and other sourcesl. The airns of the trust are fulfilled in 4 main ways: Saying Goodbye Services: The SG Services were the first national set of remernbrance services for people who have suffered baby loss and were launched by the charity in 2012. Held at Cathedrals, Minsters and Abbe¢s across the UK and internationally, the services are open to all people regardless of faith or no faith and look to celebrate, acknowledge and remember the lives unlived or cut short. During 2020-2021. the charity was able to resume some of the services in the latter part of the year, resulting in a very busy auturnn with 12 services taking place. Support: The Saying Goodbye support service. now provides support to tens of thousands of people every week, via befrienders, social media Ilnst3gramtrwitter/Facebook/Pinterestl forums, counsellors, and more. Saying Goodbye primarily supports people who have suffered baby loss at any stage of pregnancy, at birth, or during infancy. The charity currently does not have the resources to provide a nation31 helpline, however it currently provides 'Telephone Support, to people who request it- however, this service was temporarily reduced during the Covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 due to reduced staffing. Additional Support- The trust also has five additional support divisions. 'GrowingYou' is a specialist division working with people who are pregnant following losing a baby, as the trauma of loss can cause significant fear for people. 'Waiting for you, supports people through the adoption process. 'Holding Hope, supports parents (many of whom have gone through baby lossl through fertility treatment. 'Love ir) Every Tearf supports people who are supportlng others through loss 'So Cherished, supports parents who have received a terminal diagnosis over their baby Resources and Training: The charity saw the need for better resources to be used within hospitals and the wider medical community, and as such produced the 'Baby Loss and You, leaflet. This leaflet is now used in around 70Yo of NHS trusts and hospita15 and is provided free of charge by the chariiy. In addition, the charity has access to other resources that it is able to provide. Furthermore, the charity also provides training
The Mariposa Trust Report of the Trustees 202012021 sessions with midwifery teams, bereavement midwives. and other medical professionals. to improve patient care, support and experience. Campaigning: Saying Goodbye works with various agencies including NHS England and others to encourage best practice, and to actively campaign for improvements in pre and postloss care. In May 2016, the charity was awarded 'Stakeholder' status with the Department of Health and is actively working with this department. as well as members of Parliament and members of the House of Lords, to bring about improvements in care. Though the standard of care has seen improvements, such as the introduction of bereavement suites in some hospitals, there are still vast chasms of inequality in the standard of care, and the charity is committed to helping bring about change. In July 2017, the charity saw the 'National Loss Certificate, Bill introduced into the House of Lords, which it has campaigned for with the help of Baroness Benjamin. This looks to see a voluntary certificate introduced allowing babies lost before 24-weeks gestation, the chance to be formally recognised and registered. Political hold-ups due to Brexit and then the Covid-19 pandemic have meant this has progressed slower than hoped. In 2021 this received another reading in the House of Lords. In February 2018 the Secretary of State for Health (The Rt Hon Jeremy Huntl announced the first National Review into baby loss pre-24-weeks gestation, including looking at the support systems in place for parents, Certification and more. Zoe Clark-coates, the trustee and director of the Mariposa Trust was appointed by the DOH and No 10 to co-chair the review which is still underway. The issue of loss: Baby loss has always been 3 taboo subject with a stigma often attached to people that suffer it, meaning that it is often never 3ddressed or openly discussed. The 'Don't tell anyone until you are 12-weeks' message means that people suffer in silence, not wanting to share their pain. Furthermore, as friends and family often struggle knowing what to say about someone's loss, they will often choose to not say anything and hope that the person gets over it, which again makes the person going through the loss feel unable to share or ask for help and support. Grief over baby Ioss can be extreme and must be dealt with for people to move forward positively with their lives, as all too often they can become caught in a cycle of grief. The outworking of unresolved grief can often lead to physical, emotional and mental illness, which can directly impair and hinder a person's life. This can often have implications and adverse effects on relationships, employment and many other areas of life. The 'need' to have an avenue for acknowledging and remembering a loss is key to working through and overcoming grief, which is why the services and support provided by the charity are vital. Performance against Objects and Future Plans In the year November 2020to October 2021, the charity ran 12 of the expected 20'Saying Goodbye, services due to the pandemic. These included services at Canterbury Cathedral, Ely Cathedral, St Mar¢s Cathedral in Edinburgh, and more. The charity does not count the number of attendees at any service, as the foundation of its work is to help each individual who has suffered loss or been affected by the loss of a child. As part of the restrictions imposed, the charity had to restrict the number of people at each 2021 service, as well as maintain strict measures to ensure the safety and health of all attendees, as well as the charity staff and volunteers, and venue staff at each event. A comprehensive set of risk asse55ments were undertaken. appropriate PPE purchased, and procedures put in place to ensure full compliance with regulations.
The Mariposa Trust Report of the Trustees 202012021 Dueto the pandemic, and the postponement of many services, the charity decided to implement a series of online services of remembrance (virtual gatheringsl. In April 2020, the charity launched 'Saying Goodbye online,, whlch saw the charity hold regular online services (which have continued throughout the 20121 FYI. These events mix music, poetry, acts of remembrance and more to remember each life lost. The charity utilised its team of volunteers, expert singers and musicians to produce content from their homes and also venues, and using equipment the charity owned (due to lottery funding in previous yearsl, produced in- house a set of high quality 40-minute seNices, that were then live streamed on Facebook, YouTube and via the charity's own website online.sayin8goodbye.org. There was significant time Investment into this project, but with very little financial outlay, and the success has been undeniable with online services that were watched by people around the world with over 33,000 households joining one week, and regular audiences of io,000- 20,000 households. These events were held throughout 2021, and the trustees have chosen to continue them throughout 2022 and beyond. Over the 202012021 period, the charity has continued to gain media coverage and has featured in numerous newspaper and magazine 2rticles across the UK. In addition to the print media coverage, there has been TV exposure and radio interviews for stations including Global Radio (Heart, Capital), BBC Radio, Talk Radio, Bauer Media, the BBC and ITV. The standing of the Marip05a Trust as being one of the lif not thel leading baby loss support charity, now means that the charity and CEO'S are called on a regular basis by the BBC and other radio stations across the UK to comment on baby loss related stories. This was never more noticeable than when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their loss in the New York Times in Novernber 2020, resulting in a worldwide media frenzy. The charity s CEO, Zoe Clark_coates was used as the expert commentator by Radio. TV and Papers around the world, gaining a huge profile for the charity and its work. The charity continues to oversee the work of the US division of the charity'Frlends of Mariposa International Inc., or 'Mariposa International,, which is a 501lcl3 organisation, and it continues to raise the profile of the charity and support across North America, however due to the pandemic, some work undertaken in the US has had to pause. The befriending and support service that is offered by the charity continues to evolve and grow and is used by tens of thousands of people every week. The charity has pioneered the use of social media and has harnessed it as a key way of reaching people and providing support globally. Facebook continues to have the largest reach and saw significant growth from over 125,000 followers at the start of November 2019 to over 140,000 followers at the end of October 2021. Twitter sees steady growth and has around 13,000 followers. Pinterest has grown to around 58,000 followers. The charity launched a new Instagram page for the charity, which has now grown to around 11,000 followers. In addition, the charity CEO use5 her own Instagram account daily to promote the work of the charity, the services, events, fundraising projerts and opportunities and more, to her audience of over 80,000 followers.
The Mariposa Trust Report of the Tru5tee5 2020/2021 The effectiveness of the charities work can be seen on many levels. Feedback via letters, emails, calls. befriending, and social media, about the benefits, short and long-term in people's lives, and in the lives of their farnilies and friend5. Attendance at the Saying Goodbye services and due to Covid, at the online services which have seen tens of thousands of people attend/log-in and receive sUPPOrt. Increased numbers using the support services provided by the charity on a daily basis. Increased numbers of people, hospltals and medical professionals using the charities resources. Honours for Charlty CEO In June 2021, Zoe Clark-Co3tes received an MBE from the Queen as part ofthe 20218irthday Honours. This was given for Zoe's work in improving the care of the bereaved, and the trustees are delighted and offer her all congratulations for her incredible work, and for this amazing, and well-deserved honour. Fundraising & Income During the 2020-2021 year, the charity saw a significant reduction in income during the first 9-months due to the pandemic. The Mariposa 8all wa5 delayed, races were rescheduled, fundraising events cancelled and th as such income was reduced- however, during the 4 quarter, all fundraising resurned allowing income to double from its 2019-2020 FY total. With careful planning, the trustees were able to make adjustments to expenditure, and use reserves to help ensLSre the chzrity was able to continue the provision of services and sUPPOrt. Monthly donations still track below other fundraising streams, and this currently brings in around l.OOYo of the charity's income. The charity took on a volunteer bid writer with the aim being to increase income from grants and other funding bodies. Due to the pandemic, she was restricted in what she has been able to do, however, she will expand her work in the next financial year. The trustees continue to look at other forms of income generation including Corporate Support, Monthly Donations, Restricted and Un-Restricted Grants, Fundraising Events and more, as it seeks to create a consistent income stream, 50 as to better plan the charities attivities and growth.
