## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 1[st] April 2022 Period start date To 31[st] March 2023 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Emmies Kitchen** ## **Charity registration number: 1191029** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The relief of sickness among hospitalised
children in the North West of England by
the provision of support and facilities to
their parents and carers, in particular but
not exclusively the provision of hot meals
and respite, to enable families and carers
to have extended visits.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|During this reporting period the charity has
continued to provide hot meals and snack
bags on a weekly basis to parents who are
staying long term with their children in the
Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
The charity has continued to develop its
relationship with local food outlets who can
offer hot food.
During this reporting year we have had
excellent access to parents which has
enable us to have more time to talk with
parents to offer them support and relief
from isolation during the time of their child’s
treatment.
A cohort of volunteers has remained active
over this reporting period and provided
regular input into the preparation, delivery
and distribution of food and snack bags.
Partnership building has continued over the
year, especially with our most long-term
partner Ronald Macdonald House, as well
as with hospital staff and management, and
other external bodies such as the
University of Manchester, and local
galleries and arts centres.
This partnership approach has been guided
by the charity’s core values of care,
kindness and compassion, and has
enabled the sharing of facilities and
expertise to support families at the hospital.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance|Para 1.18|The Trustees understand that the charity
exists to further an exclusively charitable
purpose for the public benefit. We adhere| issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit to the charitable purpose for which we were established, and which is outlined in our objectives. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|N/A| |Policy on social investment

investment|Para 1.38|N/A| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Emmies Kitchen is staffed entirely by
volunteers. There are no paid staff, and
there have been non over the reporting
period.
Volunteers have been at the core of our
service delivery from the inception of our
organisation and continued to be the
mainstay throughout the period of this
report.
The volunteer pool has remained
consistent and volunteer input has ensured
that food delivery, or the preparation of
snack bags was never missed and was
available as scheduled for the whole of the
year.| |Other||Emmies Kitchen has a robust written
safeguarding policy which all volunteers
are familiarised with at induction and are
expected to be compliant with.| ## **Achievements and Performance** SORP reference |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits 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 have reported over the last two
years, 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
delivery/ takeaway rather than a face to
face service, we could continue to support
families.
During the course of the year the charity
delivered over 6,000 hot meals and over
4,000 snack bags, each bag containing
more than a dozen items. In total, over
10,000 snack bags and meals were
prepared and delivered.
A well established relationship with the
food charity Fareshare, means that
Emmies Kitchen can continue to 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.
Over this reporting period, similar to
previous years, our volunteers identified
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 significant to the
point that 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 offer 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, and other partners, the charity was once again able to provide essential items at Christmas, including pyjamas, gifts and toiletries. Over this reporting year Emmies Kitchen has continued to build on our good relationships with Ronald Macdonald House, The Teenage Cancer Trust, Macmillan, Hospital staff and Management, and especially the Family Support Team. Our intention is to continue to develop our partnership work in order to facilitate more access to services for parents. 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. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
