Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Since its creation in 2018 and becoming a charity in 2020 Emmies Kitchen has remained committed to its purpose, and core values. The support to parents and carers staying with a poorly child in the RMCH has been consistent. As we reported last year, Covid brought with it particular challenges, but the foundations that had been built in the early days of the organisation, especially regarding relations with the hospital management, the commitment of volunteers and the success of fundraising, meant that by adjusting to a takeaway rather than a face to face service, we could continue to support families. During the course of the year the charity delivered over 6,240 hot meals and 4,160 snack bags, each bag containing more than a dozen items. In total, over 10,000 snack bags and meals. A well established relationship with the food charity Fareshare, meant that Emmies Kitchen could source the contents for the snack bags relatively smoothly and at a minimum cost. As a charity we already knew that parents were often not feeding themselves properly. Covid exacerbated this situation considerably. Over the period of this report our volunteers identifed that parents at the hospital were often struggling to source a hot meal. The Emmies Kitchen Friday night Takeaway became a lifeline for many. Not only was the hot food itself welcome, the feedback we received from the hospital was that the psychological impact of the anticipation and delivery of the food was signifcant to the point hat the mood on the wards was visibly lifted. Parents who have to spend long periods of time looking after their child in hospital, become increasingly isolated. Over this time our volunteers noted an increase in the deterioration of people’s mental health, and an increasing number losing their jobs. By building good relationships with a range of partners and supporters, Emmies Kitchen was able to ofer other support in addition to the food.

Our ongoing partnership with L’Oréal meant that we were able to provide regular supplies of cosmetics and toiletries. Things that are essential to parents staying in the hospital, but expensive and hard to access. In addition, with support from City in the Community, the charity was able to provide essential items at Christmas, including pyjamas, gifts and toiletries. Over the year the charity continued to build on our good relations with Ronald Macdonald House, The Teenage Cancer Trust, Macmillan, Hospital staff and Management, the Family Support Team. Our intention is to develop even more partnership working, particularly in facilitating mental health support, and extending our peer support through the Emmies Kitchen volunteers. We have maintained our core charitable purpose over the year, and we believe that we have been able to relieve a degree financial hardship, and also to provide relief to those in need, both practically and psychologically.
