Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | (1) The relief of sickness and preservation of health of people suffering from Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), in particular but not exclusively by the provision of support to families affected by this condition within the UK. (2) The advancement of education for the public benefit by raising awareness of FPIES within the UK and providing up to date information and recommendations on the management of FPIES for patients and healthcare professionals. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have continued to provide support for families and carers of children with FPIES, through hosting our website and direct enquires to the charity. We previously carried out a survey amongst parents and carers of children with FPIES about healthcare professionals’ awareness of FPIES, and this highlighted a lack of awareness of FPIES amongst general practitioners (GPs). In response to this we arranged to attend the annual conference of the Royal College of General Practitioners. In collaboration with our medical advisory board, we produced an information sheet with relevant information about FPIES specifically aimed at GPs. At two-day conference we hosted a stand with information about FPIES, and we distributed around 300 copies of our GP information sheet and were able to engage many GPs in discussion about FPIES. None of these GPs reported having any previous knowledge about FPIES. |

Para 1.20 | Through attendance at the GP conference, we have been able to raise awareness and provide information about FPIES amongst GPs who had no prior knowledge about the condition. We hope that these GPs will now be better equipped to recognise FPIES in their patients, make appropriate referrals and provide support. Our website continues to be a valued source of information for families dealing with FPIES, in particular our information sheet on Complementary Feeding in FPIES. |
