The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The purpose and objectives of Maddie's Miracle are as follows: 1 - To advance the education of women, families and healthcare professionals in breastfeeding and its related factors: and 2 - To preserve and protect the mental and physical health and wellbeing of women through the antenatal, childbirth, postnatal and breastfeeding stages of motherhood. This is done through the provision of physical, emotional and practical support: and through education. ## **Significant activities** In 2022 the third sector had somewhat recovered from the hardships of 2020, however there were other crises such as the Ukraine war and Cost of Living Crisis. In terms of fundraising, these crises monopolised donor loyalty thereby impacting smaller charities and causes. The trustees have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. ## **Fundraising** In terms of our charity's income, we are very grateful to an anonymous donor who supported us with a transformational donation in early 2022 thereby allowing us to finally complete the conversion of the Breastfeeding Support Bus and to hire a freelance Trust Fundraiser. We recognise the highly significant impact that this donation has had on our micro-charity in enabling us to become more sustainable and bring us closer to achieving fiscal resilience. Page 1 ## **Maddie's Miracle** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** This year was our charity's third year of operations. We have achieved a full three years of establishing a fantastic track record. We have collected great feedback from beneficiaries showing the positive impact of our services. The Trustees of Maddie's Miracle are very proud of the positive impact that the charity has in terms of **maternal physical health** and **maternal mental health** and the health of babies. We, the Trustees, are proud of the lifelong impact our support services make on the health and well being of the children and families we serve. In November 2022 we launched our first Maddie's Miracle in-person group in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. One of our Breastfeeding Counsellors, who has local knowledge and is embedded in the community, recognised a need for a drop-in breastfeeding support group. The feedback and outcomes from mothers, fathers, parents and babies attending the group was extremely positive. ## **Outcomes and Impact** We received great feedback from surveys conducted with mothers and parents who received support from Maddie's Miracle. Beneficiaries said that **support from Maddie's Miracle has boosted their confidence as a mother.** Beneficiaries said that **their mental health has improved** ; some stated that the improvement was in their long-term mental health - which is clearly a very significant positive outcome. Beneficiaries said that **they had felt reduced loneliness** as a result of support from our charity. Beneficiaries said that support from Maddie's Miracle **improved the health of their baby.** Beneficiaries said that support from Maddie's Miracle **improved the wellbeing of their baby** . Page 2 ## **Maddie's Miracle** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Expanding our Reach** We launched a Scotland-dedicated campaign to support more mothers and parents from Scotland. ## **Online Breastfeeding Support Group (Facebook)** The group continued to grow from its launch in 2020 and we were able to support many more mothers from England, Wales and Scotland. Mothers and parents received direct professional guidance from trained Breastfeeding Counsellors. ## **Dedicated One-to-One Zoom Sessions with Breastfeeding Counsellors (Zoom)** In 2022 we continued to provide video support sessions to mothers across the UK. To date Maddie's Miracle is the only charity that provides free of charge Zoom video sessions with Breastfeeding Counsellors on a national scale. Mothers are still stating that this support service is 'lifesaving' to them. ## **Breastfeeding Support Bus** In late 2021 we were able to start work on the conversion of the Breastfeeding Support Bus. The bus was officially completed in August 2022 after almost one year of dedicated work and four years of ongoing fundraising. ## **Local Support Groups** In late 2022 we launched our first local group in Ramsey Cambridgeshire. The group meets every Monday at Ramsey Library and provides support to local mothers, parents and babies. ## **Trustees and Leadership** In 2021 We expanded our Board of Trustees by welcoming Trustees such as Professor Amy Brown of Swansea University, Wales. In 2022 we expanded our board to include people working within the NHS perinatal team and with trauma-informed training. ## **Developing Networks** In late 2021 we developed new relationships with **HomeStart** across Scotland and in Dorset (England), as well as strengthened our existing relationships with breastfeeding organisations. In 2022 we became a member of **The Breastfeeding Alliance** and joined their national steering group. We joined the **Hearts & Minds Partnership** which is a community of local voluntary and community sector (VCS) perinatal mental health services. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** During the year the charity had total income of £60,129 (2021: £26,923), the charity has spent £38,311 (2021: £20,619) resulting in a surplus of £21,818 (2021: £6,304). Resulting in the charity having £15,550 in the bank account at the year end. The charity has free reserves of £ 3,018 (2021: £991) being made up of the unrestricted funds less the fixed assets. ## **Reserves policy** The charity currently holds £3,000 in reserves. The trustees are aware of the importance of a robust reserves base that provides security to the charity. The trustees are working towards more sustainable fundraising solutions to increase our income that will in turn positively impact our reserves. As our unrestricted income increases we will prioritise the designation of a portion towards reserves. ## **FUTURE PLANS** The Trustees are focussed on becoming more sustainable, financially resilient, enhancing our systems and processes as well as improving our diversity.

Mrs M L McMahon - Trustee Page 4 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Maddie's Miracle** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Maddie's Miracle** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Maddie's Miracle (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do 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. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
