Objectives and artivities Millie's Trust was established in December 2012 by Joanne and Dan Thomp9)n following the tragic10$5 of their daughter, Millie, in a choking incident at nursery in October 2012. The charity's MI10n is to ensure that paediatric first aid training is available to everyone, regardless of financial Circumstan5. The objecbve5 of the charity, as set out in the governing document, are: To raise awarene55 of paediatric first aid and provide courses to those who could not otherwise afford them. To promote wider understanding of paediatric first across the UK. The chartty delivers these objectives through: Family First Aid Awareness courses Accredited First Aid qualification courses First Aid for school children Short introductory First sessions Mentsl Health First Aid courses In line with Charity Commission and OSCR guidance, the trustees have paid due regard to public benefit when planning activities. Achievements and Perforniance In 2024, Millie's Trust trained 3,678 people across the UK in a variety of courses. This represents a 6.360/0 increase compared to 2023. Courses were delivered both free and at low cost, with all family first aid awareness courses provided free of charge to parents and carers of babies under 12 months. In Scotland, Mlllie's Trust trained 9 people. The charity continued to work in partnership with the National Day Nurseries Association on Millle's Mark (www.milliesmark.com). In 2024, 146 nurserles submitted new applicats'ons or renewals under the scheme. In Scodand 3 nurseries submitted new application5 or renewals under the scheme.
