2024- 2025
This report covers the period April 1" 2024, until March 31 , 2025.
Dellverln
servlces
2024 has been a busy year for Daisy's Dream, having moved our offices in the very last week of
December 2023 there was much work to be done to turn a tired and tstty office space into a pleasant
working envlronment, also to create a new and nurturing family room and I'.1 area. Once this work
had been done as a charity we then had to start planning and developing the services to run from
here, something that has been met by our beneficiaries with much appreciation and delivery of groups
now growing significantly. Since the summer we have delivered 3 art sessions, a newly designed 6
week course for teenagers, groups for bereaved siblings and children who have no memories of the
person that died and a number of parent SUPPOrt groups. This is alongside our regular therapeutic
days and social outings. More individual support is now also being provided from these premises.
Referrals have continued to be steady but slightly reduced this year. We attribute this to a reduction
in the support we are able to offer for children and young people who have experienced the death of
a grandparent or extended family member. In 2023 we had to make the declsion to reduce the group
and individual support we were able to provide for this cohort and now offer support calls to parents
to work with them to support their child following the death of a grandparent. Very sadly the
complexities of referrals are increasing with more children experienclng additional trauma
surrounding the death of a loved one. this Is sometimes due to a death that may be violent or sudden
or other presenting circumstances like multiple deaths, caring duties or moving to a new area. We
have also seen a big increase in support for bereaved sibling5 which 15 a very complicated and
challenging area of work to navigate.

We rebranded and launched a new website in 2024, as part of this we asked young people to help us
deslgn our new literature to be given to children and young people. They gave us feedback on what
theywould have liked to knowabout beforetheystsrted workwith us, what had made them nervous
and what might have reassured them. These leaflet5 have been well received and we'll look forward
to workin8 With the young people we support on projects Ilke thls In the future.
We have worked on a joint project with the University of Reading to Create a training programme for
schools. Co-designed with the Institute of Education we delivered a pilot scheme to help teachers and
other school staff build their confidence in having conver5ation5 Wlth students about death and dying.
There were 14 attendees to the 3 online sessions in 2024 and the next cohort of 7 participant5
completed this training in early 2025. As a result of this our training offer has been developed further.
throughout 2024 we delivered 4 further training sessions to groups of teachers and a visiting party of
academics.

Whowe su
ort
This year we have taken 353 referrals1347 last yearl 312 post bereavement and 41 preparing for loss.
We have supported 1,062 people11,027 last yearl 353 parentlcarers, 231 professionals, 478 chIld￿n
and young people. 2024 was a year of many changes, we also had a significant reduction in therapeutic
staff for at least 6 months due to recruitment issues of two vacancies and one person being off on
long term sickness absence. With our move complete and groups now growing, along with a fully
staffed team we anticipate these figures to increase this year.
There is also some working happening to identify how many children and young people are being
helped by the significant number of adults we have trained to support children in their own settings,
especially schools, and so know that the number of children Indirectly supported by the charity is
much higher than numbers we currently record.

It is also important to note here that we are seeing an increase in terms of the complexities of the
families we are supporting. Whilst bereavement will always be the primary reason for us being
involved with a child Dr young person often this will be accompanied by a range of other issues such
as. having to move home, having to Iwe with a parent or family member that they had not lived with
prior to the b@re3vement, a signifKant reduction in household income, children and young people
caring for a parent with terminal and challenging health needs, deaths from drug and alcohol addiction
and siblin8s being split up due to new family dynamics. These are all issues we have seen with very
recent cases our team have worked wiih, operating at this level will usually tske more time and
resource wh￿h we are having to allow for more often a5 these sorts of referrals increase.

Comparing numbers from last year referra15 for grandparent death5 have halved but referrals for
sibling deaths have doubled, this is another indication that the work we do is becoming more
complicated and involved. Working in thi5 way means we are meeting the needs of those most
affected by bereavement and with support are likely to have much better outcome5 in the future.

The work we do at Dais¢s Dream can be difficult to quantify, but the impact that an interaction with
us may have can be life-changing in terms of how a young person will be able to move forwards in
their life.

A large proportion of our work Is In partnership with schools, delivering individual one to one
therapeutic sessions in the setting or providing help and strategies to teacher5. In 2024 we worked in
96 schoo15. We consistently receive positive feedback about our work and the impact it has on those
we support and the wider school community. Our training to schools has increased this year with
100% of participants saying that they would recommend the training to others.

The future
We will be using volunteers to support our service work a lot more, the introduction of some
standardised processes here and a new training programme will hopefully mean we can work across
wider geography and offer more sUPPOrt. By having a volunteer strategy in place this will hold us
accountable to ensure that we build our volunteer programme tD support the sustainability of the
charity.
We have been building our group support considerably in the latter part of 2024 and we plan to
continue with this, plans for groups for thildren that have no memory of the person that died are
already underway. Whilst we've been developing this support from our offices we will a150 try and
move to delivering some groups in the community, especially in areas that may find it hard to get to
us, for example Slough and rural West Berkshire.
2025 will be a time for us to look at our CRM syslem and work across the entire organisation to make
Sure that what we have in place is the right thing for us. Currently we have a system that is not fit for
purpose and this make the gathering and interrogation of data difficult and time consuming.
Looking at data and gathering InformatSon about numbers of children and youn8 people we have
supported will also be something we will address. we need to have an idea of not only the direct
impart we have but where we may have Indirectly supported children and young people by training
other professionals to help them.
As a charity DaisWs Dream has in previou5 years been cautious in our approach to marketing and telling
people what we do. For the coming year we will be sharing the stories of those families we 5UPPOrt
much more. We want to raise awareness of the amazing people we work with, inspiring others that
may find themselves in a Similar sltuation. We have already made a film and hope to build upon this.
This will also help support our fundraising plans and strategy.

Fundraisin
As always fundraising continues to be a mixed pirture. Our financial year ended Strongly with an
unexpected legacy donatlon of £165k in March 2024. This meant that we finished in surplus and had
a strong start to the new year. For the rest of 2024 we had a new fundraising strategy in place and
started to see positive income from corporates. trusts and foundation5. event5 and the community. A
particular highlight was a campaign to support our work in West Berkshire, with significant match
funding applled. Fundraising endeavours continue to be well supported across the organisation and
we look forward to 2 new part-tlme fundraisers joining the team in 2025 to try and build capacity
following the loss of one of our team in November.
Dalsy's Dream continues to ensure its fundraising artivity has been spread across a number of
different sectors, namely: Community Fundraising, Corporate Fundraising, Trusts and Grants and
Events.
The fundraising team compri5e5 a manager, a corporate fundraiser and two community fundraisers.
Trust and 8rant applications are completed by the Fundraising Manager and our CEO, who has a
masters in Charity Marketing and Fundraising.
A5 a small local charity, we are indebted to the community we Serve for the support it gives us. We
are both proud and appreciative of the number of people who have been recipients of our Service
who then go onto raise funds for us, acting as wonderful ambassadors for Dais(s Dream in the
process. It is a testament to the charitvs longevity and reputation that young people once helped by
the charity as children have gone onto fundraise for us as adults.
Risk Assessment and Reserves
The Trustee Board regularly revlews the rlsks the charity is subject to in respect of working practices,
safeguarding, GDPR and financial risk. The Trustee Board regularly review the risksto which the charitv
is or maybe exposed to. Policies and procedures are amended a£cordin81y.
The charity will continue to take appropriate measures to safeguard its future.
Our reserves policy remains to have at least 6 months, worth of operatlng costs, enabling us to
continue to provide ongoing support for families, even in the event of an appreciable decline in
income. We are aware that we are slightly above where we would plan to be with regards to the
amount of free rese￿e5 we aim to hold. Trustees have agreed to set a deficit budget this year to allow
the opportunity to concentrate on some key areas of growth, specifically our new volunteer
programme and new CRM system.

Volunteers
Oaisvs Dream has had a large and active volunteer group from the inception of the charity. Many of
the current team of volunteers have been with the charity for several years and, together with their
more recently recruited colleagues, they continue to make an invaluable contribution to the work of
the organisation. Volunteers work across all sertors of the organi5ation. They are key members of the
group work programme, supportlng fundralsing initiatives, as well as administration and governance.
Regular training sessions and opportunities for volunteers to come together are held throughout the
year and we aim to significantly grow this programme over the course of the year.
We would like to expre55 our thanks to all our volunteers for the huge contribution they make to the
work of the organisation.
