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|UHNT and JCUH Neonatal Units.
Following from previous years, we
have been able to continue to
extend financial support to families
where babies have been transferred
into JCUH from other hospitals for
intensive and high dependency
care.
**2.**The Charity honoured all requests
for financial support through
monetary grants to families to
contribute toward the cost of travel
and parking on hospital sites.
**3.**The Charity provided family support
to the value of £21,108
**4.**The Charity supported 129 families
throughout the 2024-25 period.
**5.**Families who have had extenuating
circumstances which result in
hardship have received emergency
funding or services to ease the
situation,
**6.**Parents who have received support
have told us that the financial and
meal voucher provision has been
very helpful and this remains a key
role of the Charity.
**7.**The V-Create video messaging
function added in previous years
continues to be successful and the
license renewed by the Charity to
enable its use in UHNT. (Note:
JCUH receive alternative funding for
this). This has allowed the Unit to
provide notes and photographs of
their babies when they are unable to
visit so that communication and
bonding remain and invaluable
memories can be made, kept and
stored.
**8.**Welcome bags / gifts to the
Neonatal units aim to introduce
positive experiences during a
family’s neonatal journey, and aim
to promote an inclusive experience
for the whole family, for example,
the provision of occasion gifts
(Fathers Day, Mothers Day, Easter,
Christmas) and sibling gifts. Baby
journals, lovingly created by one of
our volunteer trustees, continue to
be provided, and are used by
nursing staff and families alike to| capture key stages of the journey in regular entries. **9.** The Charity continues to fund and organise North Tees Neonatal Community Playgroup. This involves venue hire, transport, refreshments and the purchase of developmentally appropriate and sensory toys to promote infant development. Volunteer support workers regularly attend the session, providing advice and support to parents, carers and professionals in delivery of this service. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
