## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 


## **Chair of Trustees’ Executive Summary for the Annual Report 2024** 

As Chair of Trustees for The Bodie Hodges Foundation, it is my privilege to reflect on our year of impact and to share our continuous mission of supporting families who are bereaved of a child across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. 

This year marked a significant milestone for our charity. We officially closed our original charity, 1151053, and merged with our officially registered CIO, 1196162, streamlining our operations and increasing our capacity to achieve our vision. Our work continues to expand, guided by the needs of the families we serve, and underpinned by the lived experiences of our founders, Donna and Nick Hodges. 

In 2024, we provided over 1,000 one-on-one bereavement counselling sessions and saw an impressive increase in participation in our peer support groups, which include creative arts sessions for mothers, ‘Chips and a Chat’ meetups for fathers, and age-specific grief activities for young people. Our ‘Together Project’ has flourished, offering bereaved children and teens the space to connect with others who understand their grief. Growth of these peer sessions continue with our ‘Together Juniors’ initiative due to begin in early 2025, designed to support younger children, aged 6-10. 

The continued success of our Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags, which were distributed to 160 families in the last year is an important service that we offer nationwide. These bags offer essential tools for children and young people to help process their grief in their own way, creating a legacy of love and remembrance for the sibling who has died. 

Fundraising and financial stability remain key to our growth. With the support of businesses, individuals, and organisations, we raised vital funds that allowed us to extend our services to more families with more services. Despite challenges in the competitive grant environment, we are grateful for the ongoing commitment of our supporters, sponsors and partners and the funders who have invested in us this year. 

We achieved a major milestone in September 2024, by winning the Enterprising Women Team of the Year award. This organisation is an extension of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce and is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers. 

Financially, we ended the year in a positive position, with 80% of our income coming from community support and fundraising events. We will continue to prioritise sustainability by maintaining a reserves policy that ensures we are well-prepared for the future. Our aim is to hold £87,000 in reserves by mid-2025, alongside a £10,000 emergency fund. 

Looking forward, we will continue to grow, adapting to the needs of the families we serve and seeking new ways to ensure no family grieves alone. In 2025, our plans include to recruit student counsellors, expand our services for young people, and evolve our children’s grief support offer. Our overall financial goal is to raise £440,000 to sustain and expand these services. 

I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported our work this year. Together, we are making a difference to grieving families, offering them hope, support, and a sense of community in their darkest moments.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Our History** 

The Bodie Hodges Foundation 1151053 was set up by Nick and Donna Hodges following the death of their son Bodie in 2012.  Their lived experience is that being a bereaved parent is isolating, and that the support available following the sudden or unexpected death of a child was minimal.  The charity has continuously developed, and now provides a range of services that support the whole family. 

In the beginning the focus was on raising funds to buy a holiday home and in 2016 the purchase of Bodie’s Boathouse on Tallington Lakes was completed.  A one-week stay was offered to families who lived in the East Midlands and within 3 years of the death of their child of any age.  The impact that this stay gave families highlighted the need to Donna and Nick to implement more services and to work on more projects to support families bereaved of a child. 

Bodie’s Boathouse was sold in 2023 and funds from this property were used to purchase Bodie’s House. Although this was a difficult decision as trustees, we felt that supporting a family for up to 2 years has a significant impact and that the charity witnesses the growing need to support families with early therapeutic bereavement counselling.  Our focus will now remain on offering 1-1 and peer support to families bereaved of a child aged 18 and under within 2 years of the death.  Bodie’s House is an 11-room building where we have offices and counselling rooms.  It is a safe place where families can share their children, talk about their grief and where groups can meet. 

In 2018 the charity designed and produced Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags, based on their experience of how their daughter grieved, and with professional endorsement these are now provided nationally free of charge to siblings. 

With another focus on fundraising, we then moved to support families in the first year to 18 months with face to face early emotional therapeutic bereavement support and in October 2019 Bodie’s Bereavement Service was launched.  This service now supports families during the first 2 years after the death of a child with 1-1 specialist bereavement counselling for parents and their siblings, which can be accessed by anyone bereaved of a child under the age of 18.  We also offer a number of peer support groups which can be accessed by families bereaved of a child of any age. 

Our services grow organically with the needs that are identified by the families that we work with and from our founders own lived experience.  Each year we have grown our income in line with our services and will listen to our bereaved families and support them as they learn to live and to grieve.

**The Bodie Hodges Foundation** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Bodie’s Bereavement Service** 

Bodie’s Bereavement Service provides early emotional and therapeutic support to families bereaved of child up to the age of 18 when the child died.  Our support is offered during the first 2 years after the death and is for the whole family.  This provides support for parents and siblings, to families bereaved of their only child and to blended families.  The aim of the service is to meet families where they are in their grief and provide support that gives hope and builds resilience.  Each member of the family is given 1-1 bereavement counselling with their own counsellor. 

We receive a large number of our referrals via The Child Death Overview Panel team, as well as bereavement midwives within our local hospitals.  Families can also refer into our service at any point during the first 2 years, via our website. 

Our sessions for parents take place at Bodie’s House and our children and young people counselling sessions take place in school.   Where school is not a safe place we offer sessions here at Bodie’s House. 

In 2024 we provided over 1000 1-1 bereavement counselling sessions to adults, children and young people.  We supported 109 individuals with 1-1 support and continued to grow the number of families supported and sessions attended. 

## **Alison, a bereaved parent accessing 1-1 bereavement counselling** 

_“If it wasn’t for Nicola I might not be here.  Losing a child takes you to the darkest of places._ 

_I did just sit and cry and ask why for the first few weeks. I was never judged; I was just listened to.  And I know Nicola hasn’t lost a child but she just gets it. She gets me._ 

_Grief doesn’t come with a handbook, but The Bodie Hodges Foundation has given me the tools to deal with it._ 

_I have dark days, I have down days, but I’ve learned that’s ok and I’ve also learned that I need to know my own limits. I’d beat myself up about the bad days before, but now I know that’s all part of it and I allow myself to have them.”_

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Peer Support Groups** 

Meeting others who have been bereaved is powerful and offers support to our families that is different to counselling.  Each group is facilitated by a member of the team and are designed to be relaxed.  We find that being able to take part in activities helps conversations but also gives a focus to those who may wish to be quiet. We have continued to increase the number of parents, children and young people who attend our groups throughout 2024. 

We currently have 43 adults, children and young people registered to attend our groups: 

- Creative Grief for Mums – a monthly art group which offers peer support. 

- Chips and a Chat – a monthly activity group for Dads using sport and conversation. 

- Together project – 11-16 years. 

- Together Juniors – 6-10 years. 

## **Feedback from a bereaved Mum, Tracey who attends Creative Grief for Mums** 

**“My overarching feeling when attending these sessions is, it’s a safe place, to be in a room with other mums, that each have their own unique story, but all have experienced the indescribable pain of losing a child”** 

## **Together Project** 


The success of the Together project continued in 2024 with a new cohort of 6 young people aged 11-16 meeting for a 10-week programme of activities to build self-esteem, develop friendships, create conversations around death and their grief for their sibling. Our young people can choose to carry on meeting on a monthly basis. We currently have 12 young people who meet monthly.  This project has been funded by The Big Give during this year and this funding will continue in 2025.  We will also be starting Together Juniors for ages 6-10.

## **Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags** 

Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags are filled with grief resources to encourage conversations around death, help children to remember their sibling and process the feelings associated with grief.  They are designed to give families different tools to support their surviving children at a difficult time.  Children cope best when they feel supported to share how they feel and the resources within the bag give children and young people permission to talk about their sibling. 

Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags were sent to support siblings who had experienced the death of a sibling or to those born after the death. The bags continue to be sent out nationally, free of charge with a maximum of two per family and they support children aged 3-10 and 11-16 years. 

We have continued to support bereaved siblings with SEND to grieve in their own way  sending out Bodie’s Special Treasured Memory Bags for ages 3-25 years. 

In 2024 we have sent out 136 bags to families all across the UK.  We continue to offer this service free of charge to any bereaved sibling and to those born after the death of a sibling. 

## **Feedback from a family who received Bodie’s Treasured Memory Bags** 

_**“Watching my children come together on their own to talk and share their feelings with one another really helped their relationship deepen and provide a support network which I don’t think they ever really used until the loss of our baby. The bags gave them that time. You can’t put a value on that and we are eternally grateful what you provided our family. Thank you.”**_

## **Organ Donation** 

We continue to raise awareness of Organ Donation and encourage everyone to have open discussions with families about their wishes.  We will continue to promote the benefits of Organ Donation to both donor and recipient families.  At each event where there are opportunities to speak we share the importance of starting a conversation with loved ones. 

## **Events and Fundraising** 

- Annual Sports Dinner 

- Charity Fashion Show 

- Annual Golf Day 

- Freddies Festive Fun Run 

- Places in London Marathon, Great North Run and Leicester Half 

The above events remain key to our fundraising efforts, as they not only help us raise essential funds. 

The Bodie Hodges Foundation is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is compliant with the standards set by the Regulator in its ‘Code of Fundraising Practice’.  This ensures that donors and supporters have confidence in our fundraising practices. 

All fundraising events are organised by our Fundraising and Communications Manager, Corporate and Community Fundraiser with support from the wider team and volunteers.  We do not engage with telephone, doorstep or lottery fundraising. 

We are incredibly grateful to local and national funders for their financial support this year. 

As a small local charity, we feel extremely lucky to be becoming more widely known among corporates and businesses that want to support our work. Additionally, we are fortunate to have such a loyal base of #TeamBodie supporters who continue to turn up to attend our events and support our campaigns. 

The increase in demand for grant funding has made it more challenging to achieve success, as many funders are now oversubscribed. Despite these difficulties, we remain committed to exploring every opportunity to support our vision of ensuring no family is left to grieve alone. 

## **Charity of Choice** 

This year our charity of Choice partnerships have helped to raise over £18,000.  We love to work with businesses to share the work that we are doing and see the creative ways that businesses choose to fundraise for us.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Achievements** 

This year has seen us achieve more areas of our business plan and we have recruited a full time Team Administrator and a part-time Bereavement Counsellor with responsibility for groups.  We have increased the hours of each of our bereavement counsellors to allow more specific project time to ensure our service continue to develop. 

We have put in place lots of ways to gather feedback from our families to listen to what bereaved families need and ensure that our services meet these needs. 

We will be moving on to Xero for our 2025 accounting year and have been developing a dashboard to be able to keep track of all areas of the charity. 

We won Enterprising Women Team of Year award in September 2024 which was a proud moment.  We work hard as a team to ensure the best services for our families. 

## **Future Plans** 

- In 2025 we will be working on the following areas; 

- Recruit and support student counsellors 

- Review our offer to children and young people 

- Begin a new younger sibling peer support group called ‘Together Juniors’ 

- Increase our income to £440,000 to support our increased services and the number of families who are referring in for support. 

## **Financial position** 

The financial statements show a surplus of £33,981 (2023: £596,769 surplus). The 2023 surplus included exceptional income of £512,674 relating to the transfer of assets from the old charitable trust to the new charitable incorporated organisation. 

As a charity we have worked hard to ensure that the financial position is safe, and we monitor our income and expenditure in line with our budgets and targets. We end the year in a good financial position. In 2024 20% of our income for core services and projects was achieved through grants and we will continue to aim to increase this income to allow us to grow our services.  Achieving grants has become increasingly competitive. 

80% of our income comes from voluntary efforts from the community and business support, as well as through our events. The Trustees are grateful to our many supporters of the charity who have given their loyalty and commitment. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

In 2024 our reserves policy was to hold £66,000 to cover three months of expenditure, alongside a £10,000 emergency fund. 

As the charity grows we need to ensure stability of the charity and so in 2025 we have revised our reserves policy in line with the increase in costs to £87,000 for three months of expenditure and we will continue with the emergency fund of £10,000. 

Free reserves of £167,989 (2023: £144,470) were held at the year end, including the emergency fund of £10,000 (2023: £30,000) and other designated funds totalling £78,717 (2023: £12,864). Free reserves are the total unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets. Reserves of £101,989 held over and above the minimum free reserves figure of £66,000 are at the disposal of the trustees to meet their longer term strategic objectives. 

Restricted funds of £16,040 (2023: £17,497) were also held at the year end.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit. 

As part of our Trustee’s induction, they are asked to read and sign PB1, 2 and 3 of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Risk Factors** 

The Trustees have continued to assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, and we are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate where possible exposure to the major risks. 

Funding – Opportunities for grant-based income are competitive and it remains our aim to increase the amount of income via grants. We work hard to ensure that we have a number of income streams to ensure that the charity does not become vulnerable due to a loss of funding.  We currently do not have any multi year funding which would offer us a level of security and will target applications to achieve this. 

Demand on service – We constantly monitor the number of referrals that we receive and work hard to be able to offer our services within the first 3 months following the death of a child.  We have increased our bereavement team with another part time counsellor but we are still facing increased demands on our services. 

Loss of Income from donations - We continue to grow our donations that we receive from the general public and from our corporate partners.  We have increased our running events offer to add a larger income stream.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Bodie Hodges Foundation** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bodie Hodges Foundation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Bodie Hodges Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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. 

- Income from donations is accounted for when received. 

- Grants received, included within income from charitable activities, are recognised on a receivable basis. Where income is received in advance of performance, recognition is deferred and included in creditors until the date of performance. 

- Income from other trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when the charity is entitled to the income. Amounts received in advance for future fundraising events are deferred and included in creditors until the event takes place. 

- Rents received for room rental are recognised on a receivable basis. 

- Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

## **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 cost related to the category. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings. 

- Costs of raising funds include those costs incurred in raising funds from fundraising events, and include the direct costs relating to these events. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities relates to expenditure on the objects of the charity and include direct costs and support costs associated with these activities.
