Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 1 October 2021 To 30 September 2022

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, resources and bereavement support.
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 charity provides parent packs to families transferred in the Nectar ambulances across the region to get them through the first few days in hospital, and also provide parent packs to families admitted to the Special Care Baby Units. The charity renovated family rooms on wards to create a safe space for families. We provide portable libraries in children’s wards across the region, and provide bereavement breaks for families after the death of a child. Team Evie funds medical equipment and provide training that saves children’s lives, make time in hospital easier for sick children and reduce anxiety for families and are there for bereaved parents in their time of need.
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.

Achievements and Performance

	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	Another challenging year for the charity, but one where we are again proud of the support we have been able to provide for families. Our latest Family Room renovation has been hailed as ‘how every parent room should be’ and has made a huge difference to the families who now use it. Even throughout the toughest times with Covid-19 we have been able to keep providing our parent bags to the ambulances and SCBU. We have also started supplying sensory bags for children throughout the hospital who need additional support with their development due to prolonged periods of time in the wards. We also continue to donate lots of physiotherapy and comfort items to our wards to enable children to continue their fine and gross motor skill development and have a nicer experience in hospital. The mental health benefits to the people we directly help, and their families is huge. Through our bereavement support we have made a huge difference to many families, with bereavement breaks in the aftermath of a child’s death, but also with our events to bring the community together to support each other. We have also continued to provide our Cuddle Cot to families in the time shortly after the death of a baby, to enable families to have their baby at home with them, something which has a

huge impact on bereaved parents, not having to leave their child behind.
