Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The relief of poverty or financial hardship of families with children, throughout Calderdale and the surrounding areas, who are in need. By providing items including but not limited to children's clothing, toys and baby equipment.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
We distribute essential baby equipment, clothing, bedding toiletries and toys to vulnerable and disadvantaged families throughout our community. Midwives, health visitors, social workers Schools and many other statutory Services and professional agencies access our service. This ensures our help goes to those most in need. Our service is free to use and non-judgmental. We accept the professional’s opinion that the family require the items requested.
We have seen a huge rise in families needing our support. Most of the professionals that use our service don’t know what would happen to the families they support without charities like us. Many of our service uses are living in entrenched poverty. We also support victims of domestic violence, and work in partnership with other charities to ease the transgression to new properties. These are sometimes out of area, for the victim’s safety. Our non-judgemental service is free to use. We rely on donations from the general public for most of our stock. Local businesses and stores also donate end of lines and left-over stock, to us. This also prevents these items going into landfill. We regularly donate babies’ blankets and towels that are not to our high standard to the RSPA. Our team of trustees and volunteers continue to promote and undertake all activities within the Charity commissions general guidance. We are passionate about easing the effects of poverty on families. This is an integral part of our charity’s ethos.

Section D Achievements and performance
We have completed 950 referrals in 2022. This equates to 3852 family members that accessed our service.
We distributed 240 teen packs, to local Schools. This pack of toiletries promotes good hygiene habits. We are told by teachers that they also reduce bullying and absenteeism.
We supplied 86 Mum bags to the hospitals for mums needing essential items for themselves and their babies, either in an emergency, or for mums that have nothing, as they are admitted to hospital.
At Christmas 2022 we sent gifts to over 900 children and teens. These families are the most vulnerable in our society and would not otherwise receive any gifts from Santa on Christmas day. Although the number of gifts we received, from the general public have reduced. The number of local businesses that donated toys was significantly more. Some have already said they will donate next year too.
Dean Clough allowed us to use Fearnley Mill as our Christmas wrapping hub, we wrapped well over 4000 gifts in there.
We had our annual wrapping day in the amazing Speigaltent, at The Piece Hall. This event is so popular now that we completed all our wrapping that day in record time. Our local MP Holly Lynch attended. A few days later Holly spoke about Calderdale Lighthouse and our service in Parliament. Highlighting how busy we are, and the need for our charity as we continually strive to ease child poverty.
We continue to go to the local food bank biweekly to share donations of nappies and toiletries with the clients there. We also supplied EID and Christmas gifts, for some of the most vulnerable children that access this service.
We have been working towards a quality standard in volunteering, this has involved checking our policies and procedures and speaking to our volunteers. We are thrilled to have been awarded this in early March 2023.
This award recognised “the positive experiences from volunteers. The dedication to the cause and the support the organisation offers to volunteers, these were all highlighted by the panel as excellent practice”.

Hello,
I just wanted to send a message I know I am a bit late I didn’t get chance before Christmas.
Calderdale Young Carers would like to say a huge thank you for all your support with Christmas presents your kindness was really seen and appreciated by all the families we referred.
Parents and carers expressed what a huge impact the presents had on both them and the young people. At times like this support with such a human and caring touch means so much. You helped lots of young people with a caring role have a fab Christmas and we really appreciate your support as always!!
Many thanks, Clodagh Wall

From the bottom of our hearts, The Lower Valley Family Support Team and community would be lost with your service!
Service with a smile!
