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||**According to the Office for National**
**Statistics, a total of 5,947 babies were**
**born in Bournemouth, Christchurch,**
**Poole, and Dorset in 2022. 34% of the**
**general population have an insecure**
**attachment style. This demographic data**
**indicates that a significant number of**
**infants in our region are potentially at**
**risk of insecure attachment each year.**
**The NSPCC emphasizes the significance**
**of attachment theory, underscoring the**
**crucial emotional bond between a child**
**and their primary caregivers. Any**
**disruption or loss of this bond can lead**
**to lasting emotional and psychological**
**effects into adulthood, influencing**
**various aspects of their life, including**
**health, well-being, academic and**
**economic achievements, and future**
**relationships. Recognising the weight**
**carried by many parents due to**
**unresolved trauma from their own past**
**or societal challenges passed down**
**through generations, we approach our**
**work with profound empathy.**
**Understanding that most parents aspire**
**to provide the best for their children, our**
**therapeutic services focus on the**
**emerging relationship between a child**
**and their caregiver.**
**In addition to our existing services:**
•
**One-to-One Parent-Infant**
**Psychotherapy sessions**
•
**Attachment-Focused Infant**
**Massage Classes**
•
**Facilitated Peer Support Groups,**
**we introduced two new services in 2023:**
•
**The Dorpip Dads Group**
•
**Peapods.**
**These additions ensure comprehensive**
**support for the caregivers of the child.**
**Furthermore, we have developed**
**initiated a professional course open to**
**all members of the early years'**
**workforce. This course is designed to**
**equip professionals with the knowledge,**
**skills, and confidence required for**
**sensitive conversations, preventing**
**harm, and promoting parent-infant**
**relationships, attachment, infant mental**
**health, and well-being. Supported by the**
**government, the course is scheduled to**
**commence in 2024.**
**Beneficiaries**| |---|---|---|---| **Our services have directly benefited 217 families in the past year, involving a total of 2,140 sessions across various programs to offer comprehensive support. Outcomes include significant improvements in:- parents’ relationships with their infants, their ability & confidence to be a parent and their mental health. Parents report infant’s improved social and emotional development. We were recently described as ‘a safe pair of hands’ by an NHS referrer Other achievements We won the Charity Excellence award in 2023 and Cyber security award. Summary Childhood and adolescent mental health problems in the UK cost between £11,030 and £59,130 per child annually. The broader economic impact of mental ill health in England is estimated at £105 billion each year, with mental health service expenses, including healthcare, social care, and informal care, adding to the economic burden of childhood mental health issues. Evidence-based, targeted investment in our babies’ optimum brain development brings social and economic benefits. The short-term costs are more than offset by the immediate and long-term benefits. To value and invest in babies’ emotional wellbeing and development in the first 1001 days, gives every child a strong foundation in the earliest years of life.** ||||**To value and invest in babies’ emotional**
