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)
AR		 •
Utilising the “Shortlister” interview platform to use for new
volunteers
•
Providing advocacy during hospital appointments and
Professionals Meetings with Social Services
•
Utilising the space donated to us to create Elayos’ own Baby
Bank Unit
•
Distributing 20 newborn packages from Elayos’ Baby Bank
•
Obtaining essential clothes and equipment for mum and baby
inc. maternity bras, nappies, cots, formula milk from Elayos’ own
Baby Bank Unit
•
One to One pregnancy support and guidance
•
Supporting clients to create their own Birth Preferences and
ensuring they know all of the birthing options available to them
•
Being “on 24/7hr call” for our clients when they reach 38
weeks pregnant to accompany them to the hospital for the birth
of their baby
•
Providing qualified Doulas to support women during childbirth
•
Assisting 100% of clients to breastfeed immediately after birth
•
Providing qualified Doulas & volunteers to support at the client’s
place of residence in the postnatal period, otherwise known as
the
fourth trimester
•
Signposting to other local organisations who can take over
support when our time is completed
•
Ensuring new mums are well connected into their local
communities by accompanying them to their local Stay & Play
groups and assisting them to access services that are local to
them
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charity
Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and that the purpose
and aims of Elayos are for the greater good. All of our charitable
activities focus on improving the experience of pregnancy, birth and
motherhood for vulnerable and isolated women in the Birmingham
community so that they are better able to care for themselves and their
babies both during pregnancy and after the birth.
We believe that Elayos’ work contributes to women who have
previously had their autonomy removed now having informed
pregnancies and being actively involved in the decisions surrounding
the birth of their children. Studies have shown that support by Doulas
during childbirth is associated with a significant reduction in caesarean
births as well as a contributing to a trend of shorter labours and less
use of epidurals.
With our support we have seen many women come to realise the many
benefits of (the economical factor playing a huge part) breastfeeding
when they had previously decided to bottle-feed and then have gone on
to feed their babies for several months.
As a whole our clients have been able to build stronger bonds with their
