Objectives and activities
Purpose of the charity:
Team 1C was founded and is run by parents of children born with Heart Conditions, initially it was a volunteer fundraising group but after 5 years of fundraising it became clear that there was a distinct lack of support for cardiac families.
The purpose of the charity is to provide the relief of sickness, suffering and distress of those persons (in particular children and young people) suffering from cardiac conditions by provision of essential equipment for the care of cardiac patients to hospitals and other medical centres throughout the Liverpool city region and the surrounding areas. The provision of support services to those effected by the above conditions, including those suffering from the conditions, their carers and friends.
Activities:
for families living in critical care with a sick child, such as screen free entertainment boxes, clothes and toiletries.
We are now referrers for the Children in Need Emergency Essentials Scheme and have been able to refer 1 family per month in for essential items such as cookers, beds and fridges.
We also provide £50 grants to families who arrive at hospital in an
emergency – we pay this within 24 hours from the family being referred by the Cardiac Liaison Team.

From lived experience we know that it’s hard for parents to access food and drink for themselves in the evening, so we pay for Pizzas to be delivered to families in critical care every Sunday.
We also provide expectant parents of children with heart conditions with a “goody bag” with items to help whilst in hospital (such as a USB power bank and coffee cup)
We held a Tree planting service at Griffin Wood with a reception at Rainhill Hall for bereaved cardiac families. Each family was gifted with a photo book and wild flower seeds afterwards, they are free to visit the tree whenever they like.
We also held a “Wellbeing Day” for parents and carers following feedback that there was a lack of support. The day was facilitated by the Standing Tall Foundation and had a mix of group work and holistic therapies, along with financial advice and coping strategies.
We held our 3[rd] Ball at The Shankly Hotel in September – It was a huge success, raising £25,000.
We are pleased to have supported and collaborated with some charities close to our hearts this year.
-
We collaborated with Jump Children’s charity and provided a fun day for Cardiac families and a Christmas Party at Ronald McDonald House, Alder Hey – for previous and current residents- this was a huge success and will be repeated again in Dec 2024.
-
We funded the “Otterspool” Family Apartment for another year at Ronald McDonald House, Alder Hey.
-
We have funded a pilot scheme at Liverpool Women’s Hospital to provide hot meals to parents and carers in hospital.
-
We also funded specialist echocardiography training for Liverpool Women’s Hospital to help detect heart defects in utero more effectively.
-
We donated £2000 to Whiston Hospital (£1000 towards their playground appeal and £1000 to be ringfenced to Young Cardiac patients)
