As well as successfully adding larger fundraising events to our calendar with the |

| whole, | ||||||
| Based on feedback from service users and | ||||||
| the professionals we work with we have |
||||||
| also developed the services we offer— |
||||||
| adding our Peer Support Service, which is |
||||||
| going to make a big difference to the way | ||||||
| we operate and the support we offer to our | ||||||
| famiiies. Through the service moving | ||||||
| forwards we will be offering 1-2-1 support to | ||||||
| parents, from our volunteers who have been |
||||||
| through similar experiences. This service |
||||||
| has also meant we have the ability to offer | ||||||
| those who wish to volunteer to make a | ||||||
| difference for families a role in the charity, | ||||||
| which is something we haven't been able to |
||||||
| do in the past, | ||||||
| This deveiopment has been in addition to |
||||||
| our ongoing work providing parent. bags to |
||||||
| families in the Special Care Baby Units, who |
||||||

| books accessible to families 24/7 also. |
| We have renovated more family rooms this |
| year, making a space for families while they |
| are in hospital with their baby —to have a |
| moment ofquiet, or distraction —or |
| sometimes just normality along with their |
| babyl We have also continued to support |
| medical teams with equipment and families |
| with donations ofcomfort items to relieve |
| stress and make time in hospital easier. |
| Among all these achievements this year, we |
| have also been welcomed into more |
