|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The Charity continues to serve both the<br>Neonatal Units of University Hospital of<br>North Tees and James Cook<br>Middlesbrough. Note, babies are often<br>transferred from other hospitals across the<br>northern region, sometimes further afield<br>for intensive and high dependency care to<br>James Cook Hospital, Middlesbrough,<br>hence the charity has successfully<br>extended the same financial support to<br>these families also.<br>The Charity honoured all requests for<br>financial support through monetary grants<br>to families to contribute towards cost of<br>travel and parking on hospital sites. The<br>Charity increased payments to families due<br>to economic climate.  Promotion of the<br>charity has resulted in increased<br>applications for financial support. Families<br>who have had extenuating/ hardship<br>circumstances have received emergency<br>payments by way of monetary funding or<br>services to ease their situation.<br>Parents who’ve received support have told<br>us the financial support and meal vouchers<br>have been massive help. This remains a<br>key role of the charity. Where meal|





provision is available meal voucher supply has been limited. In addition, work was done alongside the Food vouchers were provided to both James Cook and North Tees following an award of a £ 5000 grant from Tesco. We were able to provide food hampers during the Christmas period and treats for the staff. 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. 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 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 developmental and 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.
