Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe 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	and social media support has continued unaffected with an increase in telephone support compared to social media. Overall, our package ofsupport has continued to enable individuals and families to manage the impact of bereavement and lead towards better outcomes ofmental health and wellbeing support.
		Maintained our position as a centre ofexpertise
		in the local community for child bereavement
		issues, becoming a point ofreferral for various
		agencies both Primary and Secondary Care
		services: - General Practitioners - Hospital staff
		-Police Thereby reducing some ofthe pressure
		on these stretched public resources.
		Improved awareness ofbereavement support	in
		the local area while offering peer to peer
		support and counselling. Fundraising and
		awareness events were obviously limited by the
		pandemic but this has been a slow improvement
		over the last year. Further, donations have
		started to improve in comparison to previous
		years. Despite this, we continued to maintain	a
		high level ofclient support (we continue to offer
		up to 90support sessions per month) whilst
		operating within the limits ofour financial
		reserve policy. Continued to develop the 'Over
		the rainbow' full bereavement support initiative
		and the 'Tales as old as time' project, which
		supports families who have experienced
		historical child loss. Commenced the 'Angel
		Wings' project which transforms wedding
		dresses into unique angel gowns for babies that
		are born asleep and donates them to grieving
		families. Continued our work with the Maternal
		Mental Health Service and GMCVO.
