The charity’s progress

After the October 2021 conference in Cambridge there was a period of inactivity; but a small Working Group was formed in Summer 2022 to do a bit of fact-finding and to find a way of taking things forward.

The Working Group was made up of four people: Elaine, Ian, Keith, and Steve, with professional guidance and support from Sarah from the Council for Voluntary Service Northwest Kent (who has now also joined us as a third new Trustee). All have been vital in their support and we now have new volunteers coming onboard as we progress.

Elaine, Sarah and Ian are the new trustees of the charity and will be helping to facilitate a restructure as we move forward through 2025.

The first year under the new trustees has seen a significant step forward in income and engagement which the charity hopes to sustain and improve over the coming years.

As well as the September 2024 Conference, the charity has moved ahead with projects involving Children and Young People in Education, Factsheets, Addenbrooke's Clinic 14 environment, steps towards making hospital visits better experiences for children, collaboration and information sharing with other groups, an exciting Events programme across the whole of the UK, and various fundraising support initiatives which have helped to boost the annual income by approximately 400%.
