## **Trustees' Report**
The Trustees present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.
The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102).
## **Objectives**
The objectives of Peeps are for the public benefit to:
- promote and protect the good health and relieve the needs of parents and their families affected by H.I.E. (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy) by the provision of support, information and activities, and such other means as the Trustees deem fit and:
- advance the education of the medical profession and the general public in H.I.E. and its implications for the family.
## **The Team**
## Saying hello
Our little team has been growing some more! Aishat (Family Inclusion & Support Worker), Leah (Events Coordinator) and Jess (Income & Engagement Office) joined Peeps in October and November 2024. The family and events positions are thanks to funding from the Lottery Reaching Communities, which was awarded at the end of our last financial year.
We also welcomed Stacey Attaway to our Board of Trustees to the board in October 2024:
“I bring to the role a deeply personal experience of H.I.E. My son, Frank, was born in July 2020 with severe H.I.E. and had complex medical needs as a result of his condition. Sadly, he passed away at 16 weeks old. Prior to having Frank I had never heard of H.I.E., and I was naïve to the challenges that parents of children with additional needs face. This is why the work of Peeps is so important and a cause very close to my heart.”
## **A note from the Founders**
“We say it every year, but the time goes so quickly. It has been another positive year in terms of growth for Peeps, although as always, we’d love to get to a point where we aren’t needed.
More families are finding us, and our support is tailored to suit individual needs. There isn’t a one size fits all when it comes to H.I.E. and helping, but by keeping families at the heart of all we do, asking and listening, we’re getting it as right as we can.
As founders of the charity it is both exciting and a little nerve-racking to see Peeps evolve, especially when it comes to growing the team. We can’t expect anyone to feel as passionately about Peeps as we do, yet we have managed to recruit dedicated, caring and compassionate people (both as paid staff and volunteers), who are committed to doing all they can for the families we support. The next step will be to recruit a Charity Manager, part of the strategic plan we created last year with our Pilotlight project. The aim is that this will not only help in terms of growth, but importantly with the sustainability of the charity. We don’t have plans to go anywhere just yet! Knowing that Peeps is in safe hands and will continue to offer vital support, even if we aren’t directly involved, matters a lot. It’s a legacy for our daughter Heidi, who turned 10 this year, and continues to be the driving force behind the charity.
We’d personally like to say a huge thank you to all who have supported Peeps this year. Whether through volunteering time and expertise, sharing information, fundraising or donating, we really couldn’t do what we do without you.
Thank you, and here’s to the next 12 months!”

## **Sarah and Steve Land**
## **A note from the Chair**
As I write this it seems no time since I was thinking about the report last year. It has been another positive year for Peeps. Our team of employees and Trustees have both grown in the last year. It was good to welcome Stacey Attaway to the Board. Stacey has brought her own personal experience of HIE and her input already has been much appreciated.
I continue to be particularly proud of the counselling support Peeps provides to families (640 hours of support have been provided this year). This is available through face to face or online sessions depending on individual preference and group therapy has also been introduced this year. This support can be difficult to obtain and Peeps can often organise it within days or a few short weeks. We hear at Trustees meetings, through parent feedback, what a difference it has made to families.
There are plans to recruit further to expand the team and I hope it will be another positive year ahead for the Peeps team.
As a Board we continue to work well together and bring a broad range of skills and experience to meetings which is very valuable.
## **Jennifer Cawthorne**
## **Activities**
The positive impact of our core activities continues to be evident, and they remain in place. Families tell us how much of a difference counselling has made to not only their lives, but those of loved ones around them; we hear how receiving a parent pack at the very start of an H.I.E. journey gave comfort and reassurance the family wasn’t on their own; the Peeps Together events offer a safe space for connecting with others who really “get it”.
Behind every number below is a family, touched by H.I.E. and part of the Peeps’ community.
Here’s what we did this year:
- Mental health support
- **640 hours of counselling** / trauma therapy have been arranged and funded, meeting the needs of the families, ensuring that the sessions are arranged quickly and at a time to suit them. Face to face as well as online / telephone sessions have continued to be available.
- Group Therapy was introduced as another option for support, hosted online by two experienced counsellors, across a 6-week programme. After positive feedback, the plan is that this will continue, with more sessions being offered in the coming year.
## ● Peer Support
- Our peer support is now well established, with wonderful volunteers gifting their time and experience to help others.
- A pilot of face-to-face peer support is underway, to offer families alternative ways of connecting (all contact has previously been online). This is being done with additional training for experienced peer support volunteers, and we are linking with Family Hubs, to ensure that there’s a safe environment in which the meetings can take place.
- Free parent packs
- 420 packs sent to neonatal units, hospices and families across the UK.
- Designed by families, for families the packs are for those at the start of their H.I.E. journey.
- The packs contain information, comfort items, affirmation cards, a “Little Warrior” baby grow, and practical items that are useful when in hospital.
3
- Bonding hearts have been a lovely new addition – these are handsewn cotton hearts (kindly donated to us) and are exchanged between parent or carer and their child to carry each other’s scent, strengthen their bond even when apart, and hold some comfort in tough times.
- Equipment funding
- 34 equipment funds have been given, totaling £13,000
- Items such as the Firefly GoTo Seat and PPod chair remain popular as they offer such good postural support and are mobile. We have also had a number of requests for Safe Space beds, as these allow safe sleeping when away from home (for example at grandparents or when on holiday).
- Research and representation
- Continued involvement in research projects connected to H.I.E. - helping ensure the parent's voice is heard.
- Attending study days and training events, sharing experiences and raising awareness.
- Ensuring the parent voice is heard as much as possible, by being part of groups such as the NHS Early Notification Maternity Voices Advisory Group and on The Oversight Panel for the Swansea Bay Maternity and Neonatal Review.
We welcomed over 100 new families to the Peeps community, bringing our total of referred families to 545.
## **Achievements and performance**
When there is so much happening on a weekly basis, celebrating success can sometimes be overlooked. We review what we do and learn where we can improve our services or our processes.
It’s a team effort and these are some of our highlights and challenges from the last 12 months.
Some of the things we’re proud of:
- Recruiting and retaining volunteers – many of our volunteers have stayed with us for years. They gift their time, when they already have lots on in the home and work lives, to make a difference to others. We really do appreciate all they bring to Peeps and the families we support.
- We’re the only UK charity dedicated to supporting those affected by H.I.E. and while we might be small, we’re making a big impact. It’s pleasing to see that awareness of Peeps is growing, and that our values are widely recognised.
- The speed at which we can arrange high quality, suitable mental health support is key – often set up within a week, families who may otherwise have faced lengthy waiting lists, or no support at all, are able to access what they need, in a way that suits them.
- We’re building a community – no-one chooses the H.I.E. world, but once you’re in it you can now find a group of people to share the difficult times and cheer on the happy times.
- Families tell us they feel informed and empowered, thanks to the resources created and shared at Peeps.
- We’ve worked on continuous improvement of our cultural awareness and demonstrate to families that we are sensitive to their needs and beliefs.
- We cater to individual family needs, especially for those who have been bereaved through H.I.E. It’s not transactional support, we take the time to listen and understand, and work with families at their own pace, for as long as is needed.
4
- Our first Blooms & Brunch event was a lovely way of bringing supporters together and was our first face to face event of its kind. Here’s to more in the future!
- The team has grown, with plans to recruit a Charity Manager in the coming months.
- Our Legal Support Panel is well established, and offers families trusted information from reputable organisations. The income from the sponsorship helps us offer the core activities, as well as contribute towards our staffing costs, meaning that donations and fundraising go directly to support such as counselling and parent packs.
- Plans for our first ever H.I.E. Conference are starting to take place, with a view to holding it in May 2026.
Some of the challenges we’ve faced:
- There’s so much we want to do, and have so many ideas, it’s sometimes hard to say no to things. As a small team we have to, to avoid spreading ourselves too thinly. We want to make sure that everything we do is done well and grow at a pace we can manage.
- Time to dedicate to families who deserve all the support is something we work hard to achieve within our resources. With the increase in families reaching out for support, it is important that we don’t lose the personal touch, as we know this really matters to families.
- Reaching more healthcare professionals continues to be a focus and can be a challenge. We understand just how busy everyone is, how stretched teams are, and how people move around roles, so this isn’t a criticism, and we are thankful to those who manage to find the time to engage, listen and learn. As we move into the next 12 months, we’re already looking at more creative ways we can spread awareness of H.I.E. and the support available.
- Finding accessible venues for events is time consuming. Unfortunately, many places that say they are accessible aren’t suitable for the families we support. For example, a “disabled toilet” isn’t the same as a Changing Places facility, which offers a change table, and hoists. We know how hard it is for families to plan trips out, so we always ensure that there are suitable facilities. We have found some brilliant venues though and it’s great to see families come together.
- Funding is always a challenge, which isn’t unique to Peeps. We continue to look at diversifying our income stream, while being extremely careful with our outgoings.

## **Financial Review**
The Charity held reserves of £142,194 (2024: £100,563) of which £121,376 was unrestricted (2024: £57,143). The Charity consider this an acceptable level to ensure the ongoing success of the Charity.
The Trustees consider the Charity to be a going concern.
## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (Financial Reporting Standard 102 and applicable law). Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Disclosure of information to independent examiners**
Each person who was a Trustee at the time this report was approved confirms that:
- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity's independent examiner is unaware; and
- they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themself aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity's independent examiner is aware of that information. Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
Signed on behalf of the Peeps’ trustees.

Approved by the board on 06 May 2026
## **Independent examiner's report**
## **Peeps**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA).
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
