e chose Baby Steps as our theme because nothing describes family life better. Babies grow this way, and so do parents. Made With Care began the same way. We started as parents dealing with HG, complicated births and the emotional weight of our own childhoods and how it shadows and inspires our parenting. We had huge hopes for what we wanted this charity to become, but the work reminded us something important: one feed that feels less stressful, one family passing on a buggy to another, one awareness session about hyperemesis, one day that feels a little lighter. These small shifts help families find their footing.
This year, we saw many families begin to make these small but significant steps. Parents facing PND, HG, rising living costs, childcare pressures and the everyday strain of caring for a baby found relief through meals, respite stays, baby furniture, wellbeing groups, workshops and one-to-one support. Our services may appear varied, but none of them are random. They were shaped with families and recommended by family therapists to strengthen the three foundations that matter most in early childhood: emotional stability, practical support and connection. When these foundations are in place, everyday life feels more manageable and babies thrive in the calmer environment that follows. This now includes Ladies Be a Sport, recognising that parent self-care is a vital part of our theory of change. When parents have space to breathe, rebuild confidence and care for themselves, they are better equipped to care for their babies.
The reality for many families remained challenging. Universal Credit deductions, higher housing costs, and the price of essentials stretched household budgets to breaking point. Childcare continued to be unaffordable or unavailable for many, especially for babies under two.
We welcomed the Government’s decision to remove the two-child benefit cap. This change will make a real difference to families already struggling. The expanded childcare offer funded childcare and grants for two- and three-year-olds is also encouraging, opening new opportunities for children and giving parents some room to breathe. Even so, gaps remain. Eligibility rules out some families who need it most and funding also puts up pricing for those who have to self fund.
We are deeply grateful to the funders whose trust and generosity allowed us to support families through such a tough year. Your contributions turned into practical help that parents could feel and depend on: a cooked meal on a day when everything felt too much, a safe cot or pram when budgets were tight, a warm conversation when someone needed to be heard.
Thank you to: London Funders,The Sydney Black Charitable Trust,The Albert Hunt Trust, Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks,Traver Smith Foundation, Beacon Lodge Trust, The Cuckoo Hill Trust,Arnold Clark Community Fund, Go London, Batchworth Trust, The Goodman Foundation, Jean & Leslie Connor Charitable Trust, The Felicity Wilde Charitable Foundation, Elmgrant Trust, William Howarth Charitable Trust, The Knoll Charitable Trust.
Your support reached families exactly when they needed it most.
I want to acknowledge our Steering Committee, whose insight and commitment helped shape our work this year. They led our first community survey, gathering honest feedback directly from families. Their contribution strengthened the quality of our services and grounded our decisions in real experience.
We may still be a young charity, but we understand our purpose clearly. We help families take small steps that gradually make life more manageable. In the year ahead, we will continue listening, adapting and walking alongside families as they take their next steps. Baby steps build strong families, and we are proud to be part of that journey.

Cuddle and Connect brings new moms and dads together with other families for floor time fun. Babies meet babies, parents meet parents, and connections are made. This year, 22 families met regularly through Cuddle and Connect, forming a strong network of support. As you walk in, you’re greeted by the delightful sound of baby babbling mixing with parents’ chatter. You may feel the warmth of a tight bear hug from a tiny person or learn baby massage techniques to soothe colic. From recipe sharing to teething tips, there are no rulers here; just a community coming together to support one another.
“I expected pregnancy to be hard, but this wasn’t just ‘feeling bad.’ I couldn’t keep anything down, and I was in hospital for hydration more times than I can count. The HG group helped me understand what was happening, how to talk to my GP about medication, and how to be kinder to myself."
Through project Mealtime Magic we delivered over 200 hot meals to mothers following complex births, premature babies, postpartum depression, and difficult Hyperemesis Gravidarum experiences. Additionally, we distributed baby food to support families with weaning.
"That dinner felt like a hug from someone I’d never met. When things get easier for us, I hope to do the same for another family."
Loved Again Initiative: This year, we found new loving homes for 18 prams, 12 car seats, 11 highchairs, 5 sterilisers, and countless baby toys. Additionally, we distributed 120 bundles of diapers, baby wipes, and baby lotion.
"Donating our nursery furniture felt right. These things had looked after our baby, and passing them on meant they could support another family, not end up as waste. It’s good for the environment, but it also feels good for the community, one family helping another take their first steps.”
The Ladies Be a Sport Project supports young and mothers in London who may be facing financial challenges alongside physical or mental health difficulties, including those linked to pregnancy or post-natal depression. The program includes biweekly pilates and dance sessions. This project is rooted in the belief that every woman deserves the opportunity to engage in sport, build confidence, and access positive pathways to wellbeing.
"I never realised how much tension I was holding until Pilates showed me. It helped my back, but it also helped my mind."
Theory of Change
We provide practical support, emotional steadiness, and connection through meals, respite, HG workshops, baby furniture, wellbeing groups, and 1:1 support.
Parents feel calmer, less stressed, more supported, and better able to cope with daily challenges.
Families develop stronger routines, deeper bonding, more predictable days, and warmer relational dynamics.
Parents grow in confidence, know where to turn for help, and feel their own needs are met — creating stability at home.
Children gain stronger emotional foundations, safer caregiving, healthier development, and more resilient family relationships.
10
Our services may look like a cocktail of very different supports , meals, a respite house, HG workshops, , women’s wellbeing nad fitness sessions, and Loved Again baby furniture. But nothing we do is random. Each strand is carefully chosen to strengthen one or more of the three foundations every child and family need for the best possible start:
Emotional stability
Practical support Connected relationships
Each service plays a specific role in reinforcing these foundations. Together, they form a whole-family safety net that helps parents move forward in small, steady, meaningful steps — baby-step improvements that lead to lasting change.
Effective support must be grounded in evidence, guided by strong theoretical frameworks, and rooted in practices proven to improve children’s early lives.
That is why Made With Care is committed to delivering innovative, evidence-informed services and to rigorously evaluating our impact across all programmes. We measure change using:
Family Star, based on the Parenting Efficacy Scales to Bonding and attachment Outcome Star framework, to understand confidence, indicators to assess early track whole-family progress coping, and readiness relational health
By collecting and analysing data across our entire service mix, we are building a model that can be refined, replicated, and scaled , setting a standard for what modern child-nurturing support can look like.
11
Families across all our programmes reported clear, consistent progress:
reported increased confidence as parents
reported a stronger bond with their baby
A meaningful step toward stronger family dynamics and healthier homes.
Small relational shifts that shape lifelong emotional health.
now know where to turn and who to ask for help
Confidence replaced isolation; families gained pathways and people.
feel that their own needs are finally being supported too
72% felt less stressed by day-to-day parenting challenges
Routine became easier, calmer, and more predictable.
Parents felt seen, held, and valued — improving household wellbeing.
Each percentage represents hundreds of moments — moments when a mother felt calmer, a baby was soothed, a meal eased a long day, or a parent felt less alone. These baby-step improvements accumulate into stronger routines, healthier bonds, and more resilient families.

When Sorala found out she was expecting, she was living with threat of imminent evuiction and worrying constantly about how she would manage. She had just one suitcase of belongings, no family nearby, and no way to afford the long list of things a baby needs. Each night she lay awake thinking about the same things: How will I buy a pram? Where will the baby sleep? How do I prepare when I have nothing to start with?
She tried to stay positive, but the pressure weighed on her. “Every time I thought about what the baby needed, I felt my chest tighten,” she said. “I wanted to feel excited, but all I felt was worry.”
When Made With Care stepped in, it was the first time she felt the load ease. A volunteer called to say they had found a pram for her safe, sturdy, and in beautiful condition. They had also put aside a cot, a bottle steriliser, and a bundle of soft baby clothes, many barely worn. Everything was checked, cleaned, and packed with care.
When she came to collect the items, a volunteer handed her a small envelope tucked into the baby clothes. Inside was a handwritten note from the eight-year-old child who usedthe stuff:
“I hope your baby likes these. This got me around when I was little.”
Sorala held the note for a long time. “It was such a
simple line, but it went straight to my heart,” she said. “It made me feel like someone out there cared about us. Even a child.”
She looked at the pram, the neatly folded clothes, the steriliser ready to use, and the cot she knew her baby would sleep safely in.
The volunteers showed her how to use the steriliser, and made sure she could carry everything home. She left not only with essentials, but with a sense of belonging she hadn’t felt since arriving in the UK.
In the weeks that followed, Sorala kept the note in her handbag. She read it often, especially on difficult days. “It reminded me that kindness exists,” she said. “And that my baby was entering a world where people look out for each other.”
Her baby arrived safely a few months later. The cot sat by her bed, the pram carried them to appointments, and the clothes fit perfectly. Sometimes she folded the tiny items and imagined the eight-year-old who once wore them, and how their small act of giving had reached across time to support her own child.
“One day, when we’re more settled, I want to pass things on too,” she said. “Because kindness shouldn’t stop with us.
Libby is 20 and studying Occupational Therapy. She understands theory, case notes, and diagnostic criteria better than most her age. But nothing prepared her for being pregnant with severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).
She expected pregnancy to be tiring, maybe uncomfortable. Instead, she couldn’t keep water down. She was admitted repeatedly for IV hydration. The sickness was relentless. And, as the days blurred into weeks, her confidence broke down.
“I kept thinking I had the diagnosis I was learning about in lectures. I kept thinking: why can’t I cope? why me? I blamed my body. I blamed myself. I felt like I wasn’t good enough for this baby, and definitely not strong enough to finish my course.”
Her world shrank. Libby stopped seeing friends. Lectures and placements became impossible. She worried she would lose her future career before she had a chance to start it. The shame was heavy, and so was the isolation.
Libby joined the Made With Care HG Awareness & Art Support Group, unsure what to expect. It was the first place she heard other women describe exactly what she was experiencing, hospital admissions, dehydration, fear, and the guilt of feeling so unwell during pregnancy.
“I didn’t know it was a real condition. Nobody had explained it properly. Hearing other women say they’d been through the same thing was the first time I felt understood.”
Through the group, she learned how to advocate for herself, including what medication to ask her GP about, how to talk to midwives, and how to explain HG without minimising her symptoms. The shame began to lift. She also found her voice.
The art sessions helped her express what she couldn’t put into words: frustration, fear, exhaustion, hope. Quiet creativity gave her a way to process what her body was going through.
Alongside emotional support, she received meals on the days she was too weak to cook, and baby essentials so she didn’t have to think about money while managing HG. Knowing these things were covered meant she could focus on stabilising her health.
As the HG eased and her strength returned, Libby began to rebuild her confidence, gently, steadily, one step at a time.
“Made With Care helped me see that my body wasn’t failing. I was ill, and I deserved support. That realisation changed everything.”
Libby has now returned to her OT course.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 MARCH 2025
17
1 Accoun�ng policies
Charity informa�on
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
1.1 Accoun�ng conven�on
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Chari�es Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Chari�es SORP "Accoun�ng and Repor�ng by Chari�es: Statement of Recommended Prac�ce applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effec�ve 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit En�ty as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for chari�es not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Prac�ce for chari�es applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regula�ons but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the func�onal currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conven�on, modified to include the revalua�on of freehold proper�es and to include investment proper�es and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accoun�ng policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the �me of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expecta�on that the charity has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees con�nue to adopt the going concern basis of accoun�ng in preparing the financial statements.
- 1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discre�on of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objec�ves. Restricted funds are subject to specific condi�ons by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific condi�ons by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Income is recognised when the charity is legally en�tled to it a�er any performance condi�ons have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash dona�ons are recognised on receipt. Other dona�ons are recognised once the charity has been no�fied of the dona�on, unless performance condi�ons require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in rela�on to dona�ons received under Gi� Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the �me of the dona�on. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been no�fied of an impending distribu�on, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
18
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obliga�on to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obliga�on can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by ac�vity. The costs of each ac�vity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each ac�vity. Direct costs a�ributable to a single ac�vity are allocated directly to that ac�vity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one ac�vity and support costs which are not a�ributable to a single ac�vity are appor�oned between those ac�vi�es on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of �me spent, and deprecia�on charges are allocated on the por�on of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are ini�ally measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valua�on, net of deprecia�on and any impairment losses. Deprecia�on is recognised so as to write off the cost or valua�on of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment - 40% RBM Fixtures and fi�ngs - 20% RBM
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial ac�vi�es.
Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital apprecia�on, is ini�ally recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly a�ributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the repor�ng end date. The surplus or deficit on revalua�on is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of fixed assets
At each repor�ng end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indica�on that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indica�on exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Cash and equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturi�es of three months or less, and bank overdra�s. Bank overdra�s are shown within borrowings in current liabili�es.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are ini�ally measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amor�sed cost using the effec�ve interest method unless the arrangement cons�tutes a financing transac�on, where the transac�on is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amor�sed.
19
Basic financial liabili�es
Basic financial liabili�es, including creditors and bank loans are ini�ally recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement cons�tutes a financing transac�on, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabili�es classified as payable within one year are not amor�sed. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amor�sed cost, using the effec�ve interest rate method. Trade creditors are obliga�ons to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of opera�ons from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabili�es if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabili�es. Trade creditors are recognised ini�ally at transaction price and subsequently measured at amor�sed cost using the effec�ve interest method.
Financial liabili�es are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obliga�ons expire, are discharged or are cancelled.
Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday en�tlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termina�on benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably commi�ed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termina�on benefits.
2 Cri�cal accoun�ng es�mates and judgements
In the applica�on of the charity’s accoun�ng policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, es�mates and assump�ons about the carrying amount of assets and liabili�es that are not readily apparent from other sources. The es�mates and associated assump�ons are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these es�mates. The es�mates and underlying assump�ons are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accoun�ng estimates are recognised in the period in which the es�mate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by the directors in the applica�on of these accoun�ng policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are as follows.
Property valua�on
The valua�on of the charity's investment property is subject to a degree of uncertainty, as the value depends on various factors including the nature of the property, its loca�on and expected future net rental values, market yields and comparable market transac�ons, and is made on the basis of assump�ons which may not prove to be accurate.
3 Disclosures
- For enhanced efficiency, the repor�ng period has been extended from approximately 6 months to 1 year. This results in limited comparability when comparing the amounts of the current repor�ng year to the prior period.
