Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2021
Charity name: Team Evie
Charity registration number: 1164489
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are the relief of sickness and preservation of health of children and their families by the provision of equipment and resources to the Community Nursing Team in West Cumbria and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle. |
| 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 |
The CIO provides equipment to the community team to enable families to look after their sick children at home (such as monitors of heart rate and oxygen saturations). The CIO provides resources for families who are nursing a sick child in hospital, such as a portable library (research proves that parents reading to children aids recovery, promotes relationships and gives parents a greater sense of control, intimacy and normality), iPads (with educational resources and to aid cognitive development), sensory equipment, physiotherapy aids and bereavement services/ materials for families. The CIO will promote awareness of particular medical problems, such as Tracheoesophageal Fistulas (TOFs), which affects 1/3500 babies, yet parents are unaware and unprepared for what this means for their child and their family. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when planning the activities of the CIO. Without vital equipment, e.g. SATs and heart rate monitors, families cannot care for their sick children at home and they would need to remain in hospital. Through the CIO’s purchases families are able to be together at home, where they should be. The equipment bought will be used by a succession of families over time in the West Cumbria area. Having a child in intensive care can mean that families can't bond with their child as they would normally. Research has shown that 69% of parents feel closer to their baby through reading and 86% of parents said they enjoyed it. Parents described how reading helped them to gain an increased sense of control, intimacy and normality. Staff in PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) suggested the iPads. They felt they would aid cognitive development, provide educational resources and could be used by siblings of sick children and parents as a reprieve from the intense environment. There is a lack of sensory equipment and physiotherapy aids in the PICU. Long term patients in intensive care need stimulation to aid continued cognitive development while incapacitated. The children also require much support to continue their physical development and without the purchase of more equipment children miss out. The bereavement support will provide comfort, information and help for families in their greatest time of need, following the loss of their child. Raising awareness of TOFs is vital in supporting families when their child is diagnosed with this condition. |

We have also provided these parent packs to many of the wards we support.
