Trustee’s Annual Report

Charity Name Isla’s Journey
Charity Registration Number 1183156
Administrative Details & Principal Address 94 Charleston Avenue, Basildon, Essex SS13 1JH
Objectives and Activities Objectives and Activities
Objectives Activities
Promoting
education
around pre-term and early
labour, conditions resulting
in
Neonatal
admissions,
working with obstetric and
midwifery staf to raise
awareness of, and the
actions required when
preterm
labour
is
threatened.








Objective
(a)		 Through the use of social media, awareness has continued to be
raised to over 2000 followers regarding pre term and early
labour and conditions that can arise resulting in neonatal
admissions.
Isla’s Journey is still contacted to those that have recognized the
symptoms and triggers of PTSD as we continue to provide
research and information as such. We have been able to
signpost these families to engage in the correct level of support.
The founder continues to raise awareness through the charity
website and social media pages. Follow ups from previous
meetings held regarding training to current NICU staf and junior
doctors have started to occur again but not as regular as we had
hoped.
Promote good mental
health by providing a
support network that
parents can access at a time
that suits them		 Objective
(c)		 Isla’s Journey continues to be active with the ‘Neomates’ online
groups. We have yet to arrange a face to face meeting followed
the covid restrictions being lifted. Both Basildon and Royal
London social media groups are becoming popular and engaging
with support and information for parents and families. We have
parents both past and present sharing their stories which
provides a real boost for those struggling as shows they are not
alone.
Parent sessions are due to start in September where we will be
visiting the Royal London and other hospitals to offer‘wellbeing’
days.
Seek to fund dedicated
antenatal, neonatal care
and community services
following discharge to
compliment and support
those services provided by
the NHS		 Objective
(D)		 Upon further research it was not financially viable to continue
with a text support service at this time. Time will be put into
finding a space to hold community events, support groups and
social events. We also hope to use this space for training and
education for parents and families.
Provide care packages of
essential items that NHS
services do not provide
when a hospital stay is
required.		 Objective
(E)		 Care packages have now been provided to over 80 hospitals
across the UK, with many requesting a rolling stock. We
currently have 6 transfer teams in England aware of our packs
with 2 units having them available on their transport regularly.
The other teams are not as busy and still have stock available.
Care packs are either delivered personally or sent via couriers.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
diference the charity’s
work has made to
benefciaries and any
wider benefts to society
as a whole.		 The charity is now supplying over 80 hospitals and 2 transfer teams
regularly with 4 others aware of our services. We continue to cover
England, Wales and Scotland. Feedback continues to be positive and
suggestions for improvements are taken on board where possible. We
are currently developing an electronic feedback form to incorporate onto
our care pack literature to save paper and postage.
We have recontacted hospitals ofer them packs and update our
contacts. We will also be creating an online order form where hospitals
can directly request packs when they are running low. The benefts of the
Neomates community expansion has also been essential for the mental
health and family support following discharge from NICU.
During this fnancial year, the charity raised £15398.29 which was used
to fund care packs, support for parents and staf and raising awareness.
The funds were also used for subscriptions and services to spread
awareness of what the charity does.
Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
fnancial position at the end
of the period		 The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to
affect fundraising and as such we have continued to use
reserves and personal funds to cover some expenses. We,
again, expected this to improve over this period, which we
sadly haven’t quite done. Charitable objectives have been met
in full this period.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding the
reserves stating why they
are held		 n/a
Amount of reserves held 0
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Stock all replaced after hospitals have been supplied with care
packs. We accommodate care packs needed for the following
month and further donations and grants due before supplies
are required.
