addiction or having been a looked

an assessment reveals multiple
strains and barriers to good enough
parenting.
DorPIP works holistically with families,
statutory providers and third

help in the community, through
specialist parent-infant therapy that is
not available elsewhere. Families are
seen by our multidisciplinary team

relationship. This may be a
combination of counselling, group
infant massage classes and peer led
support groups.

wider benefits to society any financial barriers and encourage
as a whole. all those needing extra support during
this time we offered our services free
of charge.
Nationwide health professionals have
identified five main areas of risk in
which Covid-19 has affected infants:
 less responsive parenting
 traumatic experiences
 material deprivation
 indirect health risks
 lack of social interaction.
These risks are due to the harm to
mental health and wellbeing of their
parents caused by social isolation,
financial shock, pressures juggling
childcare and work, unsafe living
environments, illness/bereavement,
Covid-19 anxiety and limited access
to services. Since June 2020 we have
seen a 96% uplift in our services -
more and more families are coming to
us for our support. Local infants are
experiencing the hardships just as
much as the adults. Main care givers
are telling us that increased feelings

of sadness, anxiety and isolation are making it extremely difficult to feel bonded and attached to their infant which has led to infants being less able to settle, have increased sleep disruption and digestive issues. Feedback from our service users this year has been that we have provided a "life line" when all other services for babies and toddlers were closed. We recognised the loneliness and isolation families have experienced and as a result we have reached out to more people through our social media outlets. Our messaging has been supportive and understanding and always encouraging people to contact us directly if they need further support. In this last year our social media followers have increased by 200%. We recognised the need for new parents and babies to have the opportunity to socialise, despite government guidelines advising against social get togethers. We joined forces with local attachment led infant massage classes to pilot on line courses. Reaching out to our service users ensured these classes were fully booked and well attended. Year on year the number of families using our service increased by just over 100%. Moving sessions online meant more fathers were able to attend and engage in the sessions. We believe the online sessions have also meant that families have been able to engage as geographical barriers have been removed. Using the professional Zero to Three Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood diagnostic tool our Clinical Therapists have ascertained that on entry into the service 39% of parents have a ‘Compromised to Disturbed Relationship’ and 61% have a ‘Strained to Concerning Relationships’. On exit from the service 83% have a ‘Well-Adapted to Good-Enough Relationship’

Parents themselves have reported the
following improvements:
 100% of Mums rate their
relationship with their baby as
good as they exit the service
compare with 59% when they
come into the service
 70% of Mums felt a loss of
interest in things when coming
into the service, on leaving
100% of mums stated this had
improved
 23% of mums sometimes felt
life was not worth living, none
felt like this after engaging in
therapy
 Those who felt anxious when
leaving the house reduced by
50%
 74% who felt irritable at the
beginning of therapy, reduced
to 44% after therapy
 100% of mums reported an
increase in their wellbeing,
their baby’s wellbeing and their
relationship with their baby.

Financial Review

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 Whilst the Trustees have no formal
financial position at the policy for Reserves, during the
end of the period financial year DorPIP received
£68,930.88 from H2H with these
funds to be restricted and to be used
for clients who have endured Adverse
Childhood Experiences. As a result,
the Board has felt it prudent to set
aside £50k of these funds on a
separate Bank account and for these
to be called upon when necessary to
support DorPIP’s work under the
agreed terms of usage.
Statement explaining Para 1.22 Being heavily reliant on grants and
the policy for holding fundraising, our monthly Trustee
reserves stating why meetings focus on ensuring we have
they are held sufficient non-designated funds
available to cover known expenditure
for at least three months and in
regards to the usage restriction on
the restricted funds held The Board
are fully aware of the charity’s
obligations and the need to operate in
a sustainable way. Post Covid-19 we
will look to charge some families who
are able to fund their therapy, whilst
being able to subsidise fully or in part
to those who are financially
challenged. Not withstanding receipt
of the H2H monies, the focus remains
on securing further grant income and
ideally matching this through
fundraising activities including
sponsorship and donations to meet
the ongoing costs of proving our
services.
