CEO WELCOME

As I reflect on another remarkable year for Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, I am overwhelmed with gratitude, pride and admiration for the incredible community that continues to support our work. In a time where many charities are

P a g e | 2

facing increasing pressures and growing demand, we have not only continued our mission but expanded it further than ever before.

This year has been one of significant growth and progress. Thanks to the unwavering generosity of our supporters, volunteers, fundraisers and partner establishments, we have been able to increase the number of hospitals, hospices and women’s safe houses we donate to, ensuring that even more children receive comfort during some of the most difficult moments of their life.

We are currently in the process of registering for charity status in the Isle of Man. This important step will allow us to extend our support to two establishments there, widening our reach and ensuring that more children and families can benefit from the simple but powerful comfort that a new pair of pyjamas can bring.

I continue to be truly amazed by the kindness and compassion shown to us. Every donation, fundraiser, shared post and word of encouragement reminds me just how many incredible humans stand behind this charity. It is because of this support that we can keep growing, adapting and responding to the increasing need for what we do.

While our charity continues to expand, the heart of our mission remains unchanged: to provide comfort, dignity, warmth and a small sense of normality to children during challenging times.

What may seem like a simple gift can make an enormous difference to a child, and their family, and hearing the impact these donations have continues to inspire us every single day.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to reaching even more children, building new partnerships and ensuring that no child misses out on the comfort and reassurance our donations can provide. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has helped us on this journey and excited for what we can continue to achieve together.

Thank you for believing in us and helping us make a difference.

Charmaine Green Chief Executive Officer

ABOUT OUR CHARITY

Where did the idea come from?

Our organisation was founded in November 2010, inspired by a deeply personal experience. The founder’s daughter, Nevaeh, was in hospital undergoing treatment following a cancer diagnosis. During what was expected to be another difficult hospital stay, made even harder because it coincided with the day of her long-awaited third birthday party, she received a scooter donated to the hospital by another family. This simple act of kindness transformed the experience for both Nevaeh and her family. It brought comfort, joy and a sense that others were thinking of them during an incredibly challenging time.

After returning home, the family decided they wanted to support other children facing similar circumstances. They began by asking friends and family to donate new toys, which were then gifted to their local hospital.

Three years later, recognising a growing need for more practical support, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas was created.

Today, pyjamas donated by members of the public, schools and businesses are distributed to hospitals, hospices and refuges across the UK, providing comfort and dignity to poorly and disadvantaged children and young people.

Our goal and why pyjamas are needed

Our goal is to bring comfort, dignity and care to children and young people in difficult circumstances by providing new pyjamas. These are donated to children from new-born up to eighteen years old through hospitals, hospices and refuges across the UK.

People often ask why pyjamas are needed, assuming they will always be provided by parents or carers. However, there are many situations where families arrive without essential clothing or are facing circumstances beyond their control. These include:

STAFFING LEVELS

We continue to review all costs on an on-going basis and balance this cost with the dedicated time taken to raise funds and operate the charity. As such, we employ 3 part-time staff, who are our CEO and two Operations Managers.

VOLUNTEERS

We currently have more than 70 volunteer coordinators who live in various regions across the UK. Our coordinators contact businesses, schools and workplaces to source funding for their local area, alongside collecting donations of pyjamas from friends, family and members of the public.

Most of our hospitals, hospices and refuges need a variety of pyjamas and our aim is to donate 92 pairs to each location. This equates to 2 pairs for boys and 2 pairs for girls, in each size from new-born to adult size large. Some locations have different needs and this is discussed with the coordinator who tailors collections as required, with our head office sometimes purchasing or sending pyjamas to coordinators to supply any missing sizes. Once collected, the pyjamas are sorted, packaged and delivered by the coordinators at the beginning of December each year.

Our head office in Croydon follows a similar process, but they donate to areas where we do not have a local coordinator, a new location asks for support or an exisiting location needs some additional pyjamas throughout the year. These pyjamas are sourced in the same manner as above, as well as via direct donations to our head office and fundraising. Deliveries are then undertaken by our management team, volunteers and courier services.

With each pair of pyjamas donated, we attach a pair of hand made hearts, which are sewn by our volunteer sewing team. If you’re interested in joining this amazing team, please visit

https://www.facebook.com/groups/frommetoyouhearts. The hearts really make a difference, as explained by Poppy’s Mum, “We had a unexpected hospital stay which ended in surgery. The hearts included in the PJs were so amazing and helped me feel close whilst my child went to theatre. Thank you so much”.

In 2024, we delivered 28,850 pairs of pyjamas, which was an increase of 30% compared to the previous year. Looking further back, we registered as a charity just five years ago and have seen an overall increase in donations of 494% versus 2018 (our last year before becoming a charity).

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS

Our coordinators traditionally run an annual appeal, with donations distributed to hospitals, hospices and refuges towards the end of each year. However, last year we recognised that managing all packing and distribution during a short period was no longer practical for our Croydon office. As a result, we introduced year-round packing on a trial basis, which proved highly successful. We will continue this approach to improve the logistics throughout the year.

As always, we are keen to recruit new volunteer coordinators in areas where we do not currently have local representation. We will continue promoting these opportunities through social media and word of mouth. Expanding our coordinator network will not only increase the number of children we can support, but also help reduce central distribution costs by enabling donations to be collected and delivered locally.

For the fourth consecutive year, we partnered with Puddle Ducks, a national children’s swimming business. Their “pyjama swim” events encourage families to donate pyjamas and make financial contributions, which are then sent to us each November. We hope to continue growing this partnership in the years ahead, helping to raise awareness of our work and what Puddle Ducks offer, while providing much-needed donations.

We are also incredibly grateful for the support of Sky and the Metropolitan Police service, who have assisted with packing and distributing pyjamas to locations across the south of the country. Their involvement has played an important role in helping us reduce operational costs and improve delivery capacity.

Due to the increase in donation requests, we have needed to move into a larger office space, allowing us to introduce weekly packing days. With the continued support of local residents, volunteers and businesses, these sessions have made a significant difference to the volume of pyjamas we are able to prepare and distribute. We look forward to continuing these regular packing events in the future.

Finally, we are exploring becoming a registered charity in the Isle of Man, which would enable us to extend our support to additional locations.

TESTIMONIALS

A FINAL WORD

Thank you for taking the time to read this report and for supporting our work.

At a time when so many families are facing challenges, your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

Whether you have donated pyjamas or funds, shared our social media posts, volunteered your time or supported us in any other way, we are truly grateful. Everything we achieve is only possible because of the compassion and commitment of our supporters.

Our tagline, “Spreading love through comfort,” has remained at the heart of our charity since it was founded in 2019. Anyone who has experienced a hospital stay, either personally or through a loved one, will understand how important comfort, care and kindness can be during difficult times.

Thanks to your support, so many children and young people have received comfort when they needed it most.

With heartfelt thanks and best wishes,

Charmaine and the entire Children’s Hospital Pyjamas team.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.

1.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

1.2 Going concern

The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
