|SORP reference|SORP reference|SORP reference| |---|---|---| |||| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Charity continues to serve both the
Neonatal Units of University Hospital of
North Tees and James Cook
Middlesbrough. Note, babies are often
transferred from other hospitals across the
northern region, sometimes further afield
for intensive and high dependency care to
James Cook Hospital, Middlesbrough,
hence the charity has successfully
extended the same financial support to
these families also.
The Charity honoured all requests for
financial support through monetary grants
to families to contribute towards cost of
travel and parking on hospital sites.
Community and departmental knowledge of
the role of the charity has increased, with
increased demand and parents who’ve
received support have told us the financial
support and meal vouchers have been
massive help. This remains a key role of
the charity.
Families who have had extenuating/
hardship circumstances have received
emergency payments by way of monetary
funding or services to ease their situation.
Food vouchers have continued to be
provided for families as help towards the| increased cost of eating on hospital sites. Vouchers to enable parents to continue to receive meals at both hospitals. In addition, work was done alongside the Trust through raising awareness of the issues around meal provision for parents. There has been some provision of food for parents this year at James Cook Hospital. We were able to provide food hampers during the Christmas period and treats for the staff. Requests from the Neonatal Unit, North Tees . Communication with parents continue to be a priority for Neonatal Units however the provision of V-Create video messaging has proved to be an immensely successful addition. The Charity has continued to fund the V Create licence for North Tees Hospital. Middlesbrough having alternative funding. Parents receive updates and photographs of their baby when they are unable to visit and pictures can be then saved providing invaluable memories. Nursing and Medical staff have embraced the V-Create application and its used frequently throughout the day and night. A request for the funding of a service improvement project at James Cook has been agreed in the last financial year, (the production of an information video aimed at parents whose baby will receive neonatal care. Being aware of what to expect and insights into the neonatal unit environment and care delivered will be informative and is hoped will reduce some of the stress and anxiety experienced by parents. )The monies will continue to be held in reserve this next financial year and to be awarded on the completion of the video. The provision of support to enable mothers to breast feed has been continued at both hospitals : Early expression kits and water bottles for hydration are provided by the charity. Cool bags continue to be provided, used for the for transport of breast milk between home and hospital or may be used for parents packed lunch. These gifts are well received and are reported to be a practical and useful commodity. Welcome bags and gifts to the neonatal units are aimed at introducing some positive experiences during the family’s neonatal journey and promote an inclusive experience for the whole family. Occasion gifts (Mothers-day / Fathers-day, Easter, and Christmas) along with sibling gifts. Baby Journals are provided to capture key stages of their journey, lovingly created by one of our volunteer Trustees with nursing staff and parents making regular entries. The charity continues to fund North Tees Neonatal Community Playgroup through hire of venue, transport, refreshment’s and the purchase of specialised sensory toys to help infant development. With our volunteer support workers regularly attending the forum provides support to the parents, carers and professionals in the delivery of this service. Whilst Middlesbrough Neonatal Outreach team have such services supported and funded through alternative sources the charity assists them through promotional publicity on social media. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
