JUST,BATHE TRUSTEES REPORT
Charity Registered Name: JUST.BATHE
Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
Number: 1213627
Address: 1B Orme Close, Prestbury, Cheshire, SK10 4JE.
Trustees: Dr Stephanie Alger; Mr David Alger: Mr Aston Grisdale; Ms

Report Date: 01.04.26
Objectives and activities
At JUST.BATHE, we are dedicated lo supporting families enduring the heart-wrenching
experience of losing their child in a CriticAI Care Unrt (CCU). As a parent you can find
your child as young as fourteen years old (in certain situations) being put on an adult
CCU. Whatever the age of the 'child' we aim to supply all these wards throughout the
UK with our boxes to be given to parents when they face the end of their child's life.
These boxes contain the resources needed to groomlbathe their loved one a final time.
These packs are thoughthjlly curated so that parents can create a peaceful and
meaningful farewell. fostering a sense of connection and honouring the bond they
share. JUST.BATHE was founded by Dr. Steph Alger. a mother who experienced the
devastating loss of her 18 year old son in a tragic car acodent. In the midst of her grief,
Dr. Alger recognised the profound and instinctive importance of small, rneaningful acts
of care during the final moments wwth her child. Unfortunately, the Critical Care Unit
struggled to find appropriate resources for this significant experience. JUST.BATHE
wants to ensur8 that parents in this position have these much needed resources.

Achievements and perforniance
During this financial year 1.07.25 - 1.04.26 JUST.BATHE have delivered a total of 70
boxes to 8 critical care units.

The nature of the loss experienced by the parent recipients of our boxes makes it
unlikaly in the earfy stages of our charitys operation that we would receive, or expect to
receive feedback. Furthermore. approaching grieving parents for feedback would be
inappropriate. However we have received some positive feedback from nurses on the
wards.

A wonderful yet heartbreaknng anonymous message was received below:
Hello I just wanted to thank you for your kind donation to the Intensive Care
Unit at Stepping Hill Hospital. Today we had some parents who sadly lost
their child. They were so touched by the box, and being encouraged to give
some care. It really made a difference to their experience. Thank you
Your Email Address: XXXXX

Feedback like this identffies the difference that we are undoubledly making to parents
whose child is dying as well as providing that dying individual dignity and close contact
with their mother, father or grandparent. Furthermore. we know that nurses were buying
the resources we provide out of their own money. They have reported to us that they
feel more confident that they can provide a fitting service to their patients and loved
ones. Arguably society as a whole will benefft as the grieving prO￿sS of a parent may
be made just a little bit easier through the pjsitive final act that groominglbathing their
child provides.

prizes. We also intend to hold an annual ra￿ night in September 2026 and again have
the venue booked. We have also held a Bonkers Bingo event in a public house (money
