**Charity name: Team Evie** 

## **Charity registration number: 1164489** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are the relief of<br>sickness and preservation of health of<br>children and their families by the provision<br>of equipment and resources to the<br>Community Nursing Team in West Cumbria<br>and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at<br>the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The CIO provides equipment to the<br>community team to enable families to look<br>after their sick children at home (such as<br>monitors of heart rate and oxygen<br>saturations).  The CIO provides resources<br>for families who are nursing a sick child in<br>hospital, such as a portable library<br>(research proves that parents reading to<br>children aids recovery, promotes<br>relationships and gives parents a greater<br>sense of control, intimacy and normality),<br>iPads (with educational resources and to<br>aid cognitive development), sensory<br>equipment, physiotherapy aids and<br>bereavement services/ materials for<br>families.  The CIO will promote awareness<br>of particular medical problems, such as<br>Tracheoesophageal Fistulas (TOFs), which<br>affects 1/3500 babies, yet parents are<br>unaware and unprepared for what this<br>means for their child and their family.|





|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees have had regard to the<br>guidance issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public benefit when<br>planning the activities of the CIO.  Without<br>vital equipment, e.g. SATs and heart rate<br>monitors, families cannot care for their sick<br>children at home and they would need to<br>remain in hospital.  Through the CIO’s<br>purchases families are able to be together<br>at home, where they should be.  The<br>equipment bought will be used by a<br>succession of families over time in the<br>West Cumbria area.  Having a child in<br>intensive care can mean that families can't<br>bond with their child as they would<br>normally.  Research has shown that 69% of<br>parents feel closer to their baby through<br>reading and 86% of parents said they<br>enjoyed it.  Parents described how reading<br>helped them to gain an increased sense of<br>control, intimacy and normality.  Staff in<br>PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit)<br>suggested the iPads.  They felt they would<br>aid cognitive development, provide<br>educational resources and could be used<br>by siblings of sick children and parents as a<br>reprieve from the intense environment.<br>There is a lack of sensory equipment and<br>physiotherapy aids in the PICU.  Long term<br>patients in intensive care need stimulation<br>to aid continued cognitive development<br>while incapacitated.  The children also<br>require much support to continue their<br>physical development and without the<br>purchase of more equipment children miss<br>out.  The bereavement support will provide<br>comfort, information and help for families in<br>their greatest time of need, following the<br>loss of their child.  Raising awareness of<br>TOFs is vital in supporting families when<br>their child is diagnosed with this condition.|
