We had hoped to put on an annual conference, but we did not have the desire from our followers, mainly due to the pandemic still in circulation, and the professionals that would present at the conference were dealing with another wave of Covid-19. We took the decision during the year to focus on hosting a conference in September 2022, as Covid measures lift. Through social media, we have continued to raise awareness of anorectal malformations and associated conditions by sharing information and articles of interest. This included sharing relevant information, research and articles, as well as important events such as Rare Disease Day. We welcomed a new trustee, Lauren Stahly, to the charity, with the aim of improving our engagement with our followers. As an adult living with anorectal malformation, she will prove to be a key member of the team and the perfect person to engage with our followers, as well as hospitals. Indeed, she has already made a start at making contact with hospitals. We were involved in a big piece of research, in conjunction with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), the Royal College of Midwives, Paediatric Colorectal Surgeons and Neonatal Consultants, with aim of creating a learning module for all training doctors and midwives to prevent missed or delayed diagnosis of ARMs. The part we played was to bring the patient and family voice to the learning module. ARM patients and their families were invited to share their experiences of the care their received particularly where the ARM diagnosis was missed or delayed, and the impact it had on them, through a survey shared through social media and a mailing list. The response was incredible, and the information has been used to inform the family part of the educational module demonstrating the effect that a missed or delayed diagnosis can have on families at the time of diagnosis and for many years after the child is born. The learning tool has been given approval and is currently being made by the RCPCH. A paper on this has been submitted to be presented at the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons Annual Conference in July 2022. The next step is to get ARM checking added to the Newborn Screening Tool undertaken immediately following the baby’s birth and there is work underway on this. Max’s Trust are delighted to be part of the development. Our website has been updated throughout the year. There is still a lot of work to do, but we have a presence online and, in time, will have a website that will provide lots of support and information to those affected by ARM. We continue to network with and work alongside other charities and Page 2 **Registered Address:** 18 Midwinter Avenue, Milton Heights, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 4XA **Telephone:** 07765 248799 **Email:** hello@maxtrust.org **Charity No.:** 1184081 _maxtrust.org facebook.com/maxstrust twitter.com/maxstrust instagram.com/maxstrust youtube.com linkedin.com/company/maxtrust_ partners in the UK and Internationally who will all be signposted on our website and us on theirs. Again, the pandemic has slowed some of this work but it has continued. Throughout the year, the trustees of Max’s Trust have carried out all activities with regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Events and fundraisers were impaired by the lockdowns and social distancing restrictions imposed throughout the year. Despite this, we still raised in excess of £6,600 (see Financial Review). We had planned to hold an annual conference, but given the pandemic, the vulnerability of some patients and the capacity of the health professionals to give time to present, we decided to ask our followers via a survey as to whether they felt comfortable having a conference. The majority of responses were not in favour of having a conference this year, therefore we decided to concentrate on a conference in 2022. The research project around missed or delayed diagnosis developed well during the year. The charity developed a survey and gained the experiences of our followers about how a missed or delayed diagnosis of ARM affected them at the time of birth and through their lives, with the main aim of improving the diagnosis of ARM at an early stage through the development of a learning tool. The learning tool has been approved and is currently being built by the RCPCH and we anticipate it to be finalised in the early stages of the 2022 to 2023 reporting period. In terms of benefit to our followers, we have predominantly done this via support through our social media and closed support groups. We have also supported people over the phone and by email, mainly by facilitating referrals to medical professionals and to peer-to-peer support groups. This is a valuable service which we have worked hard to get in place and we have received great feedback. As alluded to earlier, our website has been gradually updated and work will continue in the next year to improve the content. Work continues on collating and preparing a central place for good quality, medically endorsed, supportive information about anorectal malformation which will continue into the next year.
