## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
The trustees who present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity’s objects are to preserve and protect the physical, mental, and emotional health of parents and families in the West Midlands caring for sick and preterm babies by offering hospital and community-based services, ancillary to those provided by medical professionals and which are not covered by statutory funding.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
Noah's Star CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is registered with the Charity Commission in England. The Charity was incorporated on 8th January 2021.
## **Organisational structure**
The administration of the Trust is effected by the Trustees whom meet regularly. The board of Trustees implements and monitors matters of policy.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Introduction**
Noah’s Star was founded in 2017 in response to the lived experience of its founder. In July 2015, her twin boys were born at just 25 weeks’ gestation. Tragically, Noah passed away after only 30 hours, while his brother Oscar spent the following 12 weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Birmingham Women’s Hospital.
During this deeply traumatic time, the founder experienced first-hand the outstanding medical care provided to premature and critically ill babies. However, she also became acutely aware of the significant lack of emotional and psychological support available to families, particularly for siblings whose needs are often overlooked. The impact of this gap in support can be profound, contributing to long-term emotional distress for the whole family.
In response, Noah’s Star was created and formally registered as a charity in January 2020. The charity was initially established to support siblings of premature and sick babies, recognising their unique and often hidden needs. As the organisation has grown, its services have expanded to support the whole family, while continuing to prioritise siblings at the heart of its work.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued**
## **Charitable Activities**
As we reflect on the past year, we are incredibly proud of the progress Noah’s Star has made in supporting families of premature and sick babies across Birmingham. This year has been one of significant growth, renewed momentum, and meaningful impact. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, trustees, and volunteers — and the generosity of our funders and supporters — we have been able to strengthen existing services, introduce new support pathways, and reach more families than ever before.
## **Key Achievements**
## _Expanded Hospital Support_
We have continued our support service at Birmingham Women’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Birmingham Children’s Hospital Neonatal Surgical Ward and increased our visits from weekly to daily. This ensured families had consistent, compassionate peer support during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. In addition to emotional support, we provided:
- Sibling childcare, giving parents time to focus on their baby in hospital
- Family pizza nights, creating welcoming spaces for shared experiences
- Craft mornings, giving children and parents creative outlets
- Food provision, including quick, easy meals and fresh fruit, ensuring families can eat even ..... when reluctant to leave their baby’s bedside
## _Community-Based Support_
Beyond hospital walls, we continued to support families once they were discharged. Our community-based initiatives included:
- Dad and Non-Birthing Partner groups, providing peer support and connection
- Counselling sessions and wellbeing support for parents and grandparents
- Family activities, such as teddy bear picnics, Stay & Play sessions, and trips to the circus
All our support has a strong focus on peer support, helping families feel understood, less isolated, and more confident in their parenting journey.
## _Volunteer Recruitment and Engagement_
We recruited and trained 35 dedicated volunteers, significantly increasing our capacity to provide support both in hospital and the community. Volunteers play a central role in running groups, providing peer support, and helping families access services.
## _Weekly Stay and Play Groups_
Our Stay and Play sessions grew into a regular weekly group, offering a safe and inclusive space for parents and children to connect, play, and rebuild confidence following discharge from hospital.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued**
## _Promoting Early Bonding and Literacy on Neonatal Units_
We donated bookcases and books to neonatal units, encouraging parents to read to their babies — a simple but powerful way to strengthen early bonding, support development, and give parents a meaningful role during long hospital stays.
## _Securing Sustainable Funding_
We were proud to secure National Lottery funding and a contract to deliver the Best Start for Life programme. This has enabled us to expand our peer support services across both Birmingham Women’s Hospital and Birmingham Children’s Hospital, ensuring sustainable, highquality support for families in need.
## _What Families Tell Us_
“Noah’s Star gave me the confidence to leave my baby’s side to eat something and still feel supported. The quick meals and fresh fruit were a lifeline on those long days.” — Parent
“Being able to drop my older child off for childcare while I spent time with my newborn made a huge difference. I felt less guilty and more able to focus on my baby.” — Parent
“The Dad and Non-Birthing Partner group was amazing — I finally felt heard by people who really understood what it’s like.” — Parent
“The teddy bear picnic and circus trip were brilliant! We could relax and enjoy being a family after months in hospital.” — Parent
We are deeply grateful to our funders, donors, and supporters, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers, and trustees who continue to make this vital work possible. Together, we are ensuring that families are not left to navigate the trauma of premature or sick birth alone, supporting them both in hospital and as they transition back into the community.
## **The Future**
As Noah’s Star continues to grow, we are excited about the next steps in expanding our support for families of premature and sick babies. One of our key ambitions is to establish our first dedicated Neonatal Family Hub. This new space will provide a safe, welcoming environment where families can access a wide range of support under one roof. In the hub we aim to offer:
_1:1 counselling and mental health support_ , providing emotional care for parents and caregivers navigating the challenges of prematurity and illness
_Peer support sessions,_ helping families connect with others who share similar experiences, reducing isolation, and building confidence

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued**
_Inclusive family groups and Stay & Play sessions_ , where siblings and children can play and engage in activities tailored to their needs
_Parent workshops,_ offering practical guidance and skills to support early parenting, bonding, and wellbeing
_Occupational therapy and physiotherapy support,_ helping children achieve developmental milestones and providing tailored advice to families
This hub will allow families to gradually build confidence in leaving the hospital environment and accessing community-based support, providing a bridge between discharge and independent family life. By centralising these services, we aim to create a comprehensive, family-centered support network that addresses both practical and emotional needs, empowering families to thrive together.
The creation of this hub is a significant step towards our vision of ensuring no family feels alone following the premature or critical birth of a child, and it will form the foundation for new initiatives, partnerships, and activities in the years to come.

## **Noah's Star CIO**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable entity have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 ' The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events, trading activities and the charges of premises costs to tenants. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services, in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Income from grants, whether 'capital' grant or 'revenue' grants, is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is usually upon notification of interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1193043
## **Noah's Star CIO**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Expenditure - continued**
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity, including grants payable and all associated support costs.
Cost of raising funds comprises the costs of commercial trading.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include governance costs and administrative support costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Taxation**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010.

**General Fund -** This relates to general unrestricted funds including donations, training services and unconditional grants towards to be used towards the cost of general activities associated with the operations of Noah's Star.
**Awards for All funding** enabled us to provide vital sibling support to families of premature and sick babies at Birmingham Women’s Hospital. This ensured parents were able to spend uninterrupted time with their baby, express milk, and attend important medical consultations, while their older child was safely cared for by our trained volunteers.
**The Peer Support Worker Project** funded through Best Start for Life via Birmingham City Council, provides one-to-one peer support to parents of premature and sick babies at both Birmingham Women’s Hospital and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This funding has also enabled us to extend support to families following discharge from hospital and to establish our dedicated Dad’s and Non-Birthing Partner support group, ensuring families continue to feel supported within their community.
