Our Vision Our Mission When a family loses a child or young adult the effects are devastating for all who knew and loved them. Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under throughout Wales receive the bereavement support they deserye. Rhian's Story On the 22nd February my one-year old son George passed away. He died suddenly after suffering a seizure at home. It was discovered later that George was suffering from Bronchial Pneumonia and Type A Influenza. IV Just 5 days later my husband and best friend Paul tragically died. He was 33 years old. I was left alone to support my other two young children. Nobody came, no support was offered. and it was left to my family and friends to get me through my loss. 2wish was initially set up following their deaths as simple memorial fund. However, due to the overwhelming support and generosity of a small Welsh community the fund became a registered Charity in October 2012. Bereaved families and professionals working with sudden death then started reaching out. identifying with the gap that my family had discovered. IAV4 This gap in the system had to be filled. No parents should have to face loss alone. Paul was so traumatised by the loss of his son he walked out of his home. leaving a wife and two young children and never came back. Our Aims for familles in England and Wales Ensure every Emergency Department has a suitable bereavement suite for bereaved families. Ensure that bereavement boxes are available for families at each of these hospitals. Ensure that immediate bereavement support is available for suddenly bereaved families. Provide a professional bereavement counselling service. Provide support to individuals who witness the sudden and traumatic death of a child • or young adult. Provide support for professionals who are affected by the sudden death of a child or young adult. Provide staff support and traifting.

Our Values FAMILY PERSONABLE In the 2wish team, FAMILY means respecting boundaries and each other. In the 2wish team, PERSONABLE means open and approachable to others. BOLD RESPONSIVE In the 2wish team, BOLD means showing courage to push our boundaries. In the 2wish team, RESPONSIVE means getting the job done.

Welcome from our Chair It is an honour and a privilege for me to write this Annual Report for the first time as Chair of this unique charity. Firstly, on behalf of myself and my fellow board members I'd like to say a huge thank you to our outgoing Chair, Jo Foxall. In my tenure as Chair, I strive to be as attentive and skilful in the role as Jo was. I have been involved with 2wish for a few years in one capacity or another and people often ask me how I would describe the charity. I could describe 2wish through its unique and inspiring mission to ensure that all those affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under receive the bereavement support they deserve. I could describe it in numbers. e.g. through the staggering impact of having received 7,952 death referrals and as a result supported over 6,000 individuals since it started delivering its services in 2012. However, when l answer this question, I prefer to describe what I see when I stand back, look and reflect on 2wish. A quote by Francis of Assisi that goes, "Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible., always comes to mind. When I think of the journey 2wish has been on this is exactly what I see. In 2012 when our CEO Rhian lost her one-year-old son George and then just 5 days later lost her husband Paul, she did what she felt was necessary to ensure that anyone else in her and Paul's situation, at least locally, would be treated with dignity and have the support they deserved in their darkest of times. Through founding and growing 2wish Rhian found it was possible to support more and more people in more and more ways.

And now look where we are. Even just a few years ago it would have seemed impossible that 2wish could be supporting people across not just the whole of Wales but in 7 English counties as well. This, then, is how I describe 2wish. An organisation that redefines the impossible to provide the support services it believes people deserve. It then executes these services brilliantly through the most inspiring team of people I have ever worked with. This has been a momentous and defining year for 2wish. In January of 2024, for the first time, we opened our doors to services in England, specifically in the counties of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Avon and Somerset, as the first phase of a planned multi-phase expansion program to cover the whole of England. This initial phase includes 18 hospitals and 4 police forces.

,¥.¥* To the end of September 2024, in England, 2wish received 110 death referrals supporting 508 individuals, proving the need for its services in England and evidencing the huge body of work done by the 2wish team to prepare and deliver these services. Growing 2wish from a Wales only charity to one that will provide support incrementally across an expanding scope in England alongside a non-negotiable commitment to ensure services in Wales remain intact, has meant transformational scale change. Key strategic focus areas included a salary structure for recruitment and retention. a scalable organisational structure, a strengthened governance model to ensure the charity grows safely, prudent financial controls for sustainable growth and fundraising to support service expansion.

2wish has its roots in a strong community of staff, volunteers, supporters and partners. Maintaining this community will be vital to our future success in bringing our critical services to those who need them across an increasing geographical scope. Looking ahead, we're excited to build on the momentum and achievements of 2024. Our strategic priorities will include maintaining, strengthening, and growing our corporate partnerships while developing sustainable income streams through, e.g., grants and foundations and legacy giving. Community fundraising and events will remain strategically important both through the revenue they generate but also through the connection they create with the communities we serve. Other key focus areas include growing our excellent relationships with the Welsh Parliament out to the UK Government to help support our expansion of service provision into England. Operational Efficiency will alway5 be key to ensuring every possible penny raised will be spent on supporting families, professionals and anyone else affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under. I want to thank my fellow board members for their wisdom and guidance. I am humbled by and thank our community of staff, volunteers, supporters and partners. Together, we are making a real difference to people whose lives have been affected in ways they could never have imagined. This is what drives us. Martyn Sayce Chair

Welcome from our CEO As another year draws to a close. we take a moment to ref lect on the incredible journey that 2wish has had in the past 12 months. It has been a year of growth. resilience, and continued commitment to our mission. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing staff, dedicated Trustees, selfless volunteers, and the wonderful families who have supported us along the way. None of this would have been possible without each of you believing in what we do and the difference we make. This year has seen 2wish grow rapidly, and while we have expanded our services, it is important to note that our core values have remained constant. At the heart of everything we do is our belief in supporting people through their grief in a way that feels right for them. We understand that grief affects everyone differently, and that's why we strive to offer personalised, compassionate support tailored to the individual needs of each person we work with. We are incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished, and this would not be possible without the collective effort of so many people. Our staff continues to show unwavering dedication, and our Trustees remain steadfast in guiding us forward. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity, always ready to lend a hand and make meaningf ul impact in the lives of those we serve. And, of course, our families, who continue to inspire us with their strength, courage, and trust. As we look back on the year, we are filled with gratitude for every moment of support, every story shared, and every life touched. As we enter a new year, we remain committed to helping those who need it most. Our mission continues to evolve, but we promise to always be guided by the values of compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of the diverse ways in which grief impacts people's lives. Thank you once again for your continued support. and we look forward to another year of making a difference together. With deep appreciation and hope for the future, Rhian xx onni Rhian MatTrnings CEO & knjnder Dated: 14.4.25

Our Support Financial Year October 2023- September 2024: . From 1st October 2023- 30th September 2024, we received 355 referrals. OF those referrals. 239 of the referrals were immediate and 116 were historic. Immediate referrals are classified as deaths referred into our service via the immediate support pathway, usually in the hours/days following the death. Historic deaths are when the death occurred two, or more, months prior to the referral coming into the organisation. There are many reasons a death may not have been referred to the service right away-whether the family didn't feel ready to engage at the time, or the loss occurred many years ago. Each situation is deeply personal, and we recognise that people come to us at different points in their journey Since service delivery began, we have received 7,952 referrals into the charity supporting approximately 6.313 individuals. . 66% of referrals accepted the offer of a home visit from their Immediate Support Coordinator within the first two weeks of being referred. . 9f/o of families were contacted within 48 hours. The remaining 3Yo were contacted within the time period requested by the family. . 36Yo of referrals received were for females and 64Yo were for males.

Expansion On 2. January we launched our service into phase one of England! Service delivery across phase one areas include Cheshire. Shropshire, Herefordshire. Worcestershire. Gloucestershire, Avon and Somerset. The later half of 2023 laid the foundations for the service by developing relationships and raising awareness with future referral partners, recruitment of a new support team to deliver the service and expanding the existing team in departments such as f inance. HR and marketing to ensure we had capacity within the teams and were able to successfully launch into England. We developed relationships and raised awareness with our primary referral partners, namely hospital and police forces, across the seven counties of expansion including 18 hospitals all with an A&E, 4 police forces, and many existing third sector organisations to encourage joint working and a positive reception to the expansion. We employed seven staff to deliver the service in phase one of England, a Bereavement Services Manager, four Immediate Support Coordinators and two Counselling and Support Outreach Coordinators. and trained them ready to start delivering the service. Since the launch of our service. in the first nine months. we have received 150 death referrals of children and young people, 4510 of which were received f rom hospitals and police forces, supporting 693 individuals. We have developed the fundraising team in England by recruiting a Fundraising Manager and two Community Fundraisers, we have points of contact within all hospitals and police forces and have met with many local and national third sector organisations. Service delivery in England includes memory boxes. immediate support. counselling. complementary therapy, play therapy. coffee mornings. access to our sPite house and. from the second half of the year, will bring a focus upon further developing the service to include support events and professional coffee mornings for our referral partners.

Community fundraising momentum is building as the community continues to be nurtured and develop. We have received commitment from the Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner for the next two years and are focused upon income streams to support the continuation of phase one as we look to expand into further phases. We continue to provide our service in Wales and funding f rom the Valour Foundation over the past eighteen months has allowed us to stabilise that arm of the organisation. Hard to f und roles such as our Deputy CEO. Head of Fundraising and Community Fundraising roles have been part funded, as well as crucial elements to our work, such as the website and advertising costs. We are thrilled with the progress made to date and are excited for the future too. We have taken the f irst. and hardest. step. and have a successful template to develop with confidence further af ield in line with our funding proposal. Support (England and Wales): On 2nd January 2024, 2wish expanded into phase one of ten phases into the border counties of England and Wales, namely Cheshire, Shropshire. Worcestershire.

We raised £26.577 from our annual Little Ball of Hope. and were delighted to be joined by Valour Foundation, Co-Director, Steve Hayden and his wife Michelle. £39,000 raised in England in 2024 so far. £13,000 of this came from a family supported by the England support team. They organised a month-long campaign and challenged f riends and family to join them in running sk a day everyday in May! The family continue to raise funds for 2wish. Marketing and Communications: Our launch campaign, Talk2Us' kicked off on the 27th of February 2024 marking our official launch into phase one of England. We have delivered some powerful campaigns including: Our annual Vilomay campaign held throughout the month of May. Vilomay is a play on the word, 'Vilomah'. which is a Sanskrit word that means against a natural order. It's used to describe a person whose child has died. Let's Talk BereaveMENt - A campaign to raise awareness about men's grief and how we can best support men through their grieving process. We developed our social media platforms and now host two accounts for each platform, namely 2wish and 2wish Cymru.

Jac's Story On Sunday the 12th of November 2023 my son. Jac Walters was tragically taken from me as a result of a road traffic collision. Jac and I lived in West Wales and as he grew older it was becoming clear that the opportunities for him to find a job and career were difficult. We were in the process of looking for a new home near Bridgend. where there would be much more opportunities for him. Jac enjoyed working with cars and body work and a family member had been making enquiries at a local Audi Garage for him. We were both looking forward to a fresh start and we had everything to look forward to. The day before the collision is a day I will cherish for the rest of my life. Jac and I spent a lovely day shopping, Jac spending his birthday gift vouchers early, something that I give him each year. We had a bite to eat. sat in the car by the seafront for a little while chatting and listening to some of Jac's music he'd produced. Later, we spent time with Jac's close family at their caravan playing games and watching a Christmas film. We made these lovely memories before Jac said he may be going to a music event later that evening. Later that evening, I was watching television and Jac came in to say goodbye as he was going out to a music event. I was weary about him going as I'd heard there had been issues on the M4 motorway and l asked him not to go. Jac reassured me that everything would be fine. he gave me a kiss and said goodbye. The following day I was in work when I was approached by a police officer and received the worse news a mother could ever hear. From this moment every element of my life changed, physically, socially, emotionally, financially and mentally. That day I not only lost my son, but I lost my best friend as well. Soon after losing my darling Jac, I had to endure my first Mother's Day and birthday, which followed each other. without him. I cannot find words to describe the overwhelming pain and despair I felt dealing with the reality that I would never again share any precious moments or milestones wtth my son.

Being part of a very large family and given that Jac and I have a very large circle of friends, Jac's loss has broken so many hearts and will remain the same forever. Before the collision I was an independent and confident person. l always had a job, even when Jac was only 5 % months old. I worked in a small family run clothes and gift shop and dealt with customers and members of the public on a daily basis. I enjoyed socialising with friends and family. I ran our home, organised day to day life, paid the bills and did everything I could to support our family. Now I have panic attacks and suffer with anxiety. My emotions overwhelm me, my chest feels tight, and it feels like I'm having a heart attack. The thought of having to go out in public makes me anxious and panicked. I worry about seeing somebody I know who isn't aware of what's happened to Jac. I get embarrassed when I get upset when having to explain what happened. The thought of re-living this over and over again is too much. It has affected my normal day to day activities like going shopping and making appointments. It's incredibly hard and sometimes impossible just to step outside the house. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and am now medicated. I hate the fact I must take tablets just to get through the day but unfortunately, it's something I've sadly come to accept. I have also received complimentary reflexology treatment through the charity, 2Wish, which have helped me greatly. My lifestyle ha5 changed, and I now spend a lot of time at support groups speaking with other people who have had to deal with what I'm going through. Jac's death has left me asking myself what I have done to deserve all this hurt and pain. I've always tried to do the right thing and help people. I've always worked hard. I constantly think about the what if's and what could have been if things had been different. Losing Jac has affected every part of my life and things will never be the same again. It has left me heart broken and I miss him every day.

Working in Partnership Celebrating Corporate Support in 2023-24 The financial year 2023-24 saw many exciting developments for 2wish. with corporate partnerships playing a vital role in the charity's continued growth and success. Thanks to the generosity and commitment of our corporate supporters, we have been able to expand our reach, introduce new initiatives. and enhance our fundraising efforts. March 2023 marked a milestone with the introduction of our first-ever International Women's Day (IWD) event, held at the stunning Llanerch Vineyard. Over 150 guests gathered to celebrate and hear from an inspiring line-up of speakers, including Rhian Manning, our CEO, Amy Wadge, the acclaimed singer- songwriter behind hits for Ed Sheeran, and Nia Jones, the accomplished Welsh netball and football star. This landmark event was made possible by the generous sponsorship of Hugh James and Quinn's Training, demonstrating the growing corporate support for our initiatives. In January 2024, we launched another exciting new event, the first-ever '2 Miles for 2wish' challenge. with MPS Healthcare as the headline sponsor. This initiative encouraged people to get active in the new year, with over 150 participants taking part and raising in excess of £14,800 to support bereaved families. Corporate partnerships also played a key role in expanding our Business Ambassador Programme. launched in April 2024 with founding members Jenine Gill and Rebecca Rees. This programme continues to grow. enabling us to strengthen connections within the local business community and beyond. The introduction of our 'Meet the Neighbours, events has further enhanced engagement. allowing businesses to network while learning about the vital work of 2wish.

BENEFI CHILDREN Ihe Vdlcm Ilentli¢ Cliilthrn<itrlfa)s Gareth Rees - Corporate Partnership Fundralser at The Valero golf tournament Intematlonal Women's Day - Llaner¢h Vlneyard May 2024 was a standout month. The annual Little Ball of Hope returned with headline sponsors Hugh James. NFU Mutual Llantrisant, and support from HSBC match funding, making it a resounding success. In June 2024, we hosted our Paul Burke Memorial Golf Day at the stunning Glamorganshire Golf Club. where new sponsors Turley and Hensol Golf helped us break our fundraising record. raising an incredible £14.800. June also saw us selected as the chosen charity for the prestigious Valero Benefit for Children Golf Day, where golfers from all around the world participated, collectively raising over £1 million for charities, and helping further increase the visibility of 2wish on a global scale. Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to building and strengthening corporate relationships to ensure that 2wish can continue to provide essential support to families experiencing the sudden loss of a child or young adult. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our corporate supporters, sponsors. and partners who have contributed to making 2023-24 such a successful year. Together, we are making a difference.

Ruby's Story Ruby was an identical twin and was born 9 weeks early due to a condition called twin to twin transfusion, her sister Chloe was sadly born sleeping. Ruby was a fighter from the start and after 6 weeks in special care she came home, weighing a tiny 51b Ruby was just 17 when she passed away. she was just a beautiful young lady inside and out. Ruby was a loving daughter. sister. girlfriend and wonderful friend to many. Ruby was at Hartpury college studying Sports and Exercise science and part of the Hartpury netball academy. Ruby was a keen netball player and avid Rugby supporter. Ruby would spend most weekends playing netball for her local club Stroud Ladies. watching Gloucester Rugby and on a Sunday watching her boyfriend Theo playing, no matter the weatherl Ruby was even a mascot for Gloucester Rugby when she was 7, a memory we will treasure forever. Ruby had just been accepted into all 4 Chiropractic institutes to start achieving her dream of bein9 a Chiropractor, but sadly her life was cut short so suddenly and tragically. On the morning of the 22. March it started as a normal day, Ruby moaned as there was no orange juice left, before starting to put her shoes on to go off to college. I soon heard Ruby breathing very heavy and at first thought she needed her inhaler, but quickly realised something was wrong, so I phoned for an ambulance. The next 20 minutes went past in a blur and soon we had 4 paramedics, a doctor and air ambulance team all in our front room. Ruby had collapsed very suddenly and needed multiple CPR to stabilise her to a point that she could be moved. Ruby was rushed to Southmead hospital where after tests we were told she had suffered a stroke due to a blood clot on her brain and a large clot on her lung. Despite 2 operations and many procedures we were told that Ruby wasn't going to survive and just after midnight our little girl was gone.

Twelve months on now and we still don* know why a healthy and fit daughter had such large blood clots with no symptoms. Although we may not get those answers, we hope that we do, so it may at least help prevent such tragedy happening to another family. After that horrid day we felt like we were living a daily nightmare, with the whole family was completely lost, until a week later a friend from school who now lives in Wales asked me if she could send me details for 2Wish. Although unsure of how this would ever help, we made contact and into our lives walked Rachel. It instantly felt as if Ruby had sent Rachel to us. We soon received a call from 2wish and the first meeting was arranged. The first time we met Rachel {our immediate support coordinator) it honestly felt as if someone had just walked into our lives and wrapped us in their arms. Her comfort and understanding is indescribable and the support she has provided (with her colleagues) to our whole family is immeasurable. We have met a guardian angel and consider Rachel as a good friend. We look forward to her visits, conversation and hugs and are so so grateful to our friend Louise for thinking of us and 2Wish. Their support has extended beyond our immediate family including Ruby's boyfriend and her close friends. They really do go above and beyond, at a time when you don't know which way to turn. Without 2Wish I'm not sure how we'd be navigating the new norm we find ourselves living. Since Ruby left us. RUbS brother. Toby. her boyfriend and a group of friends have all completed the Stroud Half marathon in her memory. we have hosted a quiz night at our local and had a raffle all raising money for 2Wish to try and thank them as much as we can for the support we have been given. We have now raised an amazing £10.800 and we will continue to raise more money in the future to keep her memory alive and help 2Wish spread their support wider afield for those that suffer something so tragic. Being part of the 2Wish family has helped us massively these last 12 months so anything we can do to raise awareness or raise money we will continue to do so A massive thank you from us both Jo & Neville Mills

They spend a lot of hours sat out here, unfortunately, while we are trying to save their relatives" "Sometimes that's not possible and they have to come to terms with that news here. Just to have pleasant surroundings, just to make it even a little bit better, in the worst time of their lives. is appreciated"

Ongoing Support Over time. we see individuals gain more independence and the immediate support comes to an end. The Immediate Support Coordinator will inform individuals about other ways they can access ongoing support through 2wish, should they need it. The ongoing support is not time limited, allowing access any time after the death of a child or young person. We do not put a timeline on grief and our services can be accessed at any time, whether the death happened yesterday or twenty years ago. It really is so good that 2wish don just give up on people if at first, they're not ready for support because t¢xlay was invaluable and so, so needed in small place like Pembs Counselling doesn't aim to hurry the process along; it supports people as they grieve, in their own way and in their own time. 2wish provide funded sessions of 1.1 counselling with a local. qualified, BACP registered counsellor. This service can be accessed as an individual, a couple, or as a young person. 2wish can also offer counselling sessions via instant messaging or over the phone if preferred. It was a real struggle to leave the house for my complimentary therapy session but I'm so glad I went because I feel so much more relaxed 2wish now has 376 counsellors, complementary therapists and play therapists recruited at 2wish that we work closely with to provide an extensive service to those who need to access our support. Thank you so muchl I've really enjoyed the massages le had so far. Feels nice to actually relax and feel some peace for a change. I feel like I wouldn't be where l am now without 2wish so thank you so much.

These services can have calming. soothing. and rebalancing benefits, effective for treating stress. anxiety. and insomnia. As well as the physical symptoms linked with grief.

Children and Young People 2wish offers support for children and young people when they've lost a sibling or friend who was a child or young person. With consent from a parent or guardian, our Children and Young Person Coordinator and/or Immediate Support Coordinators will provide emotional and practical support to siblings, relatives, and friends. We understand that sometimes young people feel isolated in their grief and may struggle with difficult emotions or feel alone. We offer a safe space for them to speak privately with one of our friendly team al)out their feelings, emotions, and anything else they wish to talk about. We hold regular support events giving children and young people the opportunity to enjoy new experiences in a safe environment and meet others who have experienced similar loss. 2wish also help schools, colleges and universities with bereavement support which can be provided through bespoke workshops. group. and individual sessions. Play Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses play to help children deal with emotional and mental health issues. By using play and creative techniques, children are able to explore their feelings and thoughts and begin to process and understand muddled feelings and upsetting events. Play Therapy is suitable for children aged 4-12 years old. All of our Play Therapists are BAPT or PTUK registered. though we support families and children that have been affected by the sudden death of a child or young person, I realise that a huge proportion of those children have pre-existing mental health issues. Nicola Watts - Children and Young Person Coordinator - 2wish

Children and Young People Events We hold regular support events giving children and young people the opportunity to enjoy new experiences in a safe environment and meet others who have experienced a similar loss. Some of the events include: Pottery Painting afternoon Climbing Centre adventure Held on the first Saturday of each month, in partnership with Emerald Therapies Centre, 2wish offers 15-24 year olds who have experienced the sudden or unexpected death of a friend, family member or partner to come together in Chester.

Each month the group takes part in different therapeutic activities ensuring the session is accessible to all and meets various creative and active interests, creating a safe space for young people to talk and access peer support.

Support for Professionals It may be assumed that because of someone's job role, that they may encounter death, it won't affect them and that it's part of the job and they 'used to it,. However we know that this isn't necessarily the case it could be immediate or it may take days, weeks, months or years, but the feelings of grief may catch up with that person. Professionals such as funeral directors. GPS, teachers. sports coaches, health visitors. legal teams and so many more who have to deal with child death as part of their working lives. but may never have received support or training in how to best support the loved ones they come into contact with. In 2016. we off icially extended the offer of support to professionals from any sector who, at any point in their career, have been affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young person. We are able to offer support in a number of ways, all of which are confidential and arranged by 2wish. We strive to work with professionals to ensure that we can offer support in a way that f its with work commitments and daily life. he lomof aehli d 18 uninuR1bl¢. 2pAth SIow8 to 8lve parents somethlns loleave with r•ther than Just An mpty ho#rL The eleph8nts offer lo mueh to IrVed 8ibllny and are tre4Jure41 Item& hs cllnlclAn who hasdeAli wlth many chlhl deAtho.

Working with Cardiff marketing agency Orchard on the media buying and creative. and Church Village based PR agency Front Door Communications. we delivered a multi channel campaign that incorporated radio and paid social media. out of home (also known as outdoor advertising. refers to billboards, signage. or other highly visual, highly impactful media displayed in public spaces people walk past and drive by every day) and public relations to amplify our launch had a combined reach of over 3 million. On this same day we launched a brand new website, drastically improving loading speeds. usability and structure for our visitors. 41# Support for thos• affected by sudden death in young people C¥M¥u d••th In EN. Enthuse: A Ticketing, Events and Fundraising Overhaul. December 2023 saw the onboarding of popular fundraising platform Enthuse. This development has enhanced our ticketing process and events communications, integrated our fundraising process into our ticketing, increasing the likelihood of registrations proceeding to raise funds, and opened up virtual events opportunities like our '2miles for 2wish' which has become a regular fixture in the 2wish calendar.

A Growing Team The marketing team grew by one, as we welcomed our Social Media Assistant Rose in May 2024. A dedicated Social Media Assistant has allowed us to manage our social media internally, alleviating the need for external support. This has had a profoundly positive impact on the charity, as we can now better manage the organisation's comms needs. develop a social media strategy and create far more engaging content. As we've expanded and become more active in each of our phase one expansion areas, it's been all the more important to have Rose on board to manage our output across England and Wales, as this would not have been achievable without her. Campaigns We ran a series of awareness campaigns throughout the year, highlighting a range of topics to drive uptake in support, as well as funds and revenue. 2wish Star Appeal: Oct - Dec 2023 Talk2us (England Launch campaign): Feb 2024 Children's Mental health Week: Feb 2024 2wish Walks Offa's Dyke to celebrate England expansion: Apr 2024 Vilomay: May 2024 Let's Talk BereaveMENt: Jun - Jul 2024 Events Marketing The team supported 15 events in the form of ticketing. digital and physical marketing, event literature, audio visual and live coverage. ere are no b4d emotii)n5, only Uncomfortab Èmotlons, feeling sad isn a bad emotion" LET'S TALK BEREAVEMENT ilomay Talk2us tr)piL 2w

Fundraising in England 23 - 24 Our fundraising journey in England began in 2024, where Head of Fundraising, Daisy Magill completed outreach to each of the bordering counties. this consisted of attending business shows, joining local business chambers and sourcing opportunities for us to share the 2wish story. Recruitment began in February to hire the England Fundraising team. Milly Wheeler, Fundraising Manager joined the team in March 2024. The recruitment of the regional fundraisers took longer than anticipated, with the Regional fundraiser role for Gloucestershire. Somerset & Avon. Naomi Willingham joining us in July 2024. Community fundraising has been a key source of income that we saw in the first year of operation. This is a testament to the support received by people in the border counties, and them seeking ways to give back to 2wish and memorialise their loved ones.

Spotlight on Barry's Fundraising Journey. Barry Curtis. together with Michelle. his friends and family has taken on the inspiring challenge of climbing the highest peak in every UK county to raise funds for 2wish, in loving memory of his daughter Lucy. Here is Lucy's story. shared in Barry's own words. Our Daughter Lucy passed away on New Year's Day 2024 at the age of 17. The months since have been so very difficult. Christmas was a great day. full of fun and laughter. Lucy was very impressed with life-sized Harry styles cut out that we had chosen for her (Lucy and some friends had seen Harry twice last summer). Lucy loved music so much and last year she went to loads of concerts. She also had tickets to see Taylor this coming summer she had bought with her money from working as a barista at a local café. Coffee, was again something that Lucy was a big fan off, but it had to be goodl She was the most fantastic barista, she excelled in everything she did. On Boxing Day, we went for a dog walk together. In October, Lucy had convinced us that a puppy would be a good ideal She found "the one" a cocker spaniel crossed with a retriever. Rosie aka "the golden dog." 24 hours later Lucy was in the ICU. On New Year's Day our world crumbled when we were told that there was nothing more that they could do. Lucy was an organ donor, she had signed up twice, once before a trip to New York in Feb 23 and once when she applied for her driving licence. This gave us a couple of extra, precious days. Knowing that Lucy signed up twice to organ donation was very humbling. It saves lives. If you can then I would urge you to also sign up and talk to your family about your wishes. During this time I had a call from Rachel and a charity I had never heard of asking if she could see us, I can't be sure, but think I said something like "if you want" and left it at that. Shortly after Rachel arrived from 2wish - we all warmed to her really quickly. We were in such a state of shock. but it was lovely to be told that Rachel was there for us, as were all of 2wish.

Over the coming weeks, Rachel visited often, it gave us something in our diary and someone to talk to. who understood. We have spoken. laughed and cried together. Even the dogs look forward to seeing her arrive! Since Lucy died. we have attended 2wish events and coffee mornings. met the 2wish team and other parents. No two stories are the same, however the feelings and loss are comparable. and we have found that there can be comfort in talking to others. In the coming months and years we will be raising money for 2wish in Lucy's name. Lucy was the most kind, caring, loyal, intelligent, artistic young women who put everybody else before herself, even in her darkest moments. Lucy made such a difference to our lives and everyone around her. She will be remembered as the girl who changed things. We will cherish the 17 amazing years we had with Lucy always. The Fundraising Team met with Barry and Michelle to support with their fundraising goall Barry explained the challenge that he wanted to take on, walking the highest peaks of each county in England, Scotland and Wales. Barry set an ambitious target of £30,000 with the aim to complete the challenge by the following year. To help achieve this they have had support of friends. family and Barry's workplace to ensure that they reach the target. The expansion continued to develop over 23/24, with a real focus on raising awareness, working collaboratively with the support team and working on engaging with local businesses in each of our areas to gain support.

Thank You Thank you to all of our trustees, volunteers, fundraisers and partners for supporting us this year. Without you, we could not provide immediate and ongoing bereavement support for families, individuals and professionals affected by the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under. Best wishes, 2 Wish staff Together we can make a difference to those suddenly bereaved

2wish Since 2012, we have been at the forefront of providing compassionate and caring sudden bereavement support in Wales and have developed incredible services that we know make a huge difference to people's lives. As the number of those in need sadly continues to grow, we are determined to always be there whenever we are needed. ooo @2wishcharity Sovereign Court.
