## **Trustee Report Blue for Jackson**
## **April 2024 – March 2025**
## **Type of governing document – Constitution**
## **How the charity is constituted – Foundation CIO**
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.
## **The plan to deliver road safety materials in the local area Brake stopped making Beep beep packs available to sell and changed to mainly online.**
**Reference and administration details Charity name:** Blue for Jackson
**Registered number** : 1179152
**Charity’s principal address** : 8 Coulson close Yarm Stockton on tees TS15 9TQ
**Names of charity trustees who manage the charity during this period:**
**Cheryl Yates** Founder/chair/trustee **Carl John Yates** Trustee
**Richard Graham** Trustee **Amanda Bramley** Trustee
## **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)
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.”
**Main actvites to meet our purposes**
## **Parking Pals**
With the increasing costs of postage and importing from the USA, we decided to stop selling Parking Pals as of January 2024. We still had stock left and would sell if requested.
We shared the website for the official website which is still running in America and will still promote their services but will donate the remaining stock to families if requested.
## **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.
Another product we have stopped importing due to costs and postage, remaining stock will be donated, and the website will still be shared and promoted by our charity.
**Summary of main achievements of the charity**
The delivery of Beep Beep packs and Bereavement books to local schools was on hold this year as they have moved to online rather than packs you can purchase.
Overall a quiet year with some big changes and loss of direction.
More research into available resources around road safety for young children is needed and decisions on what direction to take the charity, as the main objective is to donate resources to schools, we now need to source new materials fit for that purpose.
## **Possible ideas for the future**
- A bereavement pack for schools including books and resources to help pupils who experience grief with the loss of a loved one.
- A new road safety pack made up from various road safety charities and resources available.
- Possible printing of the online version of the Beep Beep packs.
- Donation of road safety signs to schools including child size school zone pavement signs.
## **Financial review**
## **Review of charites fnancial positon**
Available unrestricted funds in the charity bank account as of 1/04/2025 £6250
Our main source of funds has been from donations and the sale of Parking Pals and Tag*a*longs.
Future plans are to keep providing primary schools in the local area with Road Safety packs also adding more Bereavement books to school libraries so more families can have access.
Keep looking for child safety products which we can donate to schools. Keep raising awareness of road safety and Jacksons story.
The trustees declare that they approved the trustees report above.
