Blue for Jackson was established in 2018 by Cheryl Yates after her son Jackson John Yates died in a car park accident in Manchester in August 2017. The campaign started as a gesture to keep the story of Jacksons accident in the forefront of people’s minds about the dangers of car parks and overall road safety for young children and families.

## **Summary of purposes**
Blue for Jackson is a registered charity which promotes road safety for young children. Primary purpose as set out in our constitution:
1. “To promote and advance the education on road safety for the public benefit, focusing on young children and parents in particular the dangers within car parks.”
We do this by providing educational materials designed and printed by another road safety charity BRAKE. We deliver these free of charge to local primary schools and childcare facilities to benefit children of key stage one age (2-7 year olds)
**Our purposes have to deliver Beep Beep packs was fulfilled in April/May 23 with a large order and delivery to lots of local schools.**
Blue for Jackson also has a secondary purpose: 2. “To provide bereavement materials and literature to local schools with Stockton borough council to support bereaved children and families.”
**We ordered a mix of Bereavement books for different ages and delivered them to local schools for use in their library or for pupils to use at home to help with the grieving process.**
**Main actvites to meet our purposes**
## **Parking Pals**
The Parking pal sales were still running throughout the year.
Parking Pals are a product from the USA which is designed to help young children stay near a vehicle when exiting the car. They are a circular magnet which can stick to the side of a car, with a colourful design this is appealing to smaller children and can help prevent them from leaving the side of car when in a potentially dangerous car park. Purchased in bulk from the USA they are sold at a small profit to help raise funds to purchase the road safety packs which we donate to schools.
## **Sale of Tag*a*long handle**
Another safety product from American called the TAG*A*LONG. A flexible handle which easily attached to a pram to teach children to stay close while gaining their walking independence.
We are still supplying these as they help promote safety awareness and can be used as an aid when crossing a road or walking along a path by holding onto whatever it has been attached too, e.g a pram, trolley, or wheelchair.
## **Summary of main achievements of the charity**
