TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2023

Babygro’s Purposes

The purposes of Babygro, as set out in our governing document, are:

‘For public benefit, the advancement of education and health, in particular but not exclusively, by (a) providing parents with information about parent-infant communication and its links to attachment, brain development and later life health and wellbeing; and (b) providing evidence-based support to parents relating to infant feeding, crying and sleep.’

Babygro’s Activities

Babygro is a registered charity for parents and babies that brings to life the latest research on parent-infant communication, brain development and links to later-life (mental) health and well-being. Our services include: (1) a free-of-charge eight-week course of workshops for parents and babies, in which parents discover how babies’ brains develop, and how responsive communication between parent and baby leads to later life well-being and resilience to stress; (2) an accompanying Babygro Book, which can be downloaded free-of-charge or purchased in print; (3) free-of-charge infant support sessions on the topics of feeding, fussing and sleep.

There are two features that make our services innovative:

First, is accessibility. Our Babygro Book tells the story of the latest brain science, in emotive images and with minimal words. Our Babygro Courses employ nurturing activities and video examples to introduce four important networks of the brain and how they develop through parent and baby communication.

Second, is our partnership with the Social Neuroscience of Human Attachment Lab , at the University of Essex. This is a centre for brain development which collaborates with leading neuroscientists and psychologists around the globe to publish the latest academic research.

Thus, parents can access leading-edge research through modes that are free of technical language and easy-to-digest.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning all activities and determining how best to utilise our funds.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2023

Summary of Babygro’s Main Achievements

Eight Week Babygro Course

Parents attending our eight-week course learn, through immersive activities and video examples, about the latest research on infant attachment, brain development and later life outcomes. Throughout the eight weeks, parents and the course leader (Dr Amanda Lucas, a developmental psychologist, lecturer, and published researcher) ‘build a brain’ in images, that are hung in the trees. The images represent the hormones at work, or the type of activity going on in four important networks of the brain and parents come to understand how communication with their baby influences the development of these networks. These educational activities are interspersed with music, song, and baby massage, as well as tea, biscuits and supportive discussion.

Since our last reporting period we have conducted five, in-person, eight-week courses of workshops. The average group size was 16 parents with their babies, and there were 79 beneficiaries in total. Our evaluations found that parents felt more confident after the course on measures such as reading and responding to their babies’ cues, regulating their babies’ feelings and behaviour and promoting resilience and wellbeing in their babies. Parent confidence increased, across the measures - on a five-point scale - from an average of 2.9 before the course and 4.5 after completing the course. See full evaluation data and sample testimonials below.

Weekly Support Sessions

More recently we have begun to offer weekly sessions, which provide evidence-based advice and support on the topics that evoke the most anxiety in parents – namely Infant Sleep, and Infant Support (including feeding, fussing and digestive discomfort). From May 23 to August 23 we have held 20 sessions with 122 beneficiaries. Initial data from our sleep sessions reveals that parent confidence in their sleep choices rose from a mean of 2.5 to 4.1, and parental anxiety around sleep fell from a mean of 3.2 to 1.9, before and after the session. (See Below).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2023

Babygro Book

The Babygro Book illustrates - in pictures and with minimal words - how babies' brains develop, and how responsive communication between parent and baby leads to later life (mental) health and wellbeing. It is produced in association with our partners at the Social Neuroscience of Human Attachment Lab at the University of Essex, and it aims to bring to life the very latest research on bonding and brain development.

Since our last reporting period we have had over 8,000 visits to our website and over 500 downloads of our free-of-charge Babygro Book. It continues to be downloaded by parents, midwives, health visitors, paediatric consultants, and policy makers. We believe the drip-down effects of this will be that health professionals will be better equipped with a scientific understanding of attachment and bonding and how this relates to parent-infant communication.

Future Aims & Objectives

As Babygro becomes recognised as a mouthpiece for the most leading-edge research on baby brain development, we are seeing an interest in training for those who work with infants and families. Our Babygro Book has been downloaded by health visitors, midwives, paediatric consultants, as well as local authority children services, the Australian Government and UK children’s charities. Our ambition is to become a hub for health professionals to learn about parent-infant relationships, brain development and lifelong mental health. This will begin with our first two-day brain development course which will take place in September 2023 be attended by members of the children’s charity, Action for Children.

We aim to increase the sustainability of Babygro by charging a modest fee to children’s services and charities for two-day professional courses. Our objective is to rely less on grant funding, while maintaining our free-of-charge services to parents.

The total payments were £20,990 and the Charity held cash funds of £11,370 at the end of the financial year. Furthermore, we have an application in progress for further grant funding from Garfield Weston to ensure financial stability for the next financial year.

Reserves Policy

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds which equate to 3 months of running costs for Babygro. This is equal to £1,500 per month (including salaries, digital platforms, insurances, and venue hire), totalling £5,000. Thus, we have met this aim.

Structure, Governance and Management

Babygro was incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 18[th] November, 2021 and has adopted a constitution governing document. Our trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting held in November.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1st January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment Gains and Losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

BABYGRO

(Charitable Incorporated Organisation)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with Performance Conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.

Unrestricted funds

These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Restricted funds

These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of appeals for special offerings for specific purposes.

Designated funds

These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for particular purposes or projects.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows:

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 25% - Straight Line Basis

Changes in Accounting Policies and Previous Accounts

There has been a change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year. The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis to present a true and fair view of the Charity's financial position as at 1st September 2023.

2. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

The CIO held no fixed assets during this or the previous financial year.

The annual commitments under non-cancelling operating leases and capital commitments are as follows:

1st September 2023 : None

1st September 2022 : None

Charitable Activities

The Charity operates a PAYE scheme to pay all members of employed staff and no employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000 (2021/22:None)

13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES

No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them.

14. RISK ASSESSMENT

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

15. RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/ members of Babygro on the accounts for the year ended 1st September 2023 set out on pages 11 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
