PART 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT During the period August 2023 - July 2024, Rockabye (Parent-Infant Support) CIC delivered 21 perinatal mental health groups for parents and babies living in different communities across Bristol. 15 of these were postnatal groups and 6 supported mental health preparation and bonding prior to birth (antenatal). Rockabye’s groups benefited local mums and babies and their families by supporting and nourishing attachment bonds, aiding mental health recovery, and reducing the social isolation that new families frequently experience. Rockabye groups provided a valuable point of contact for families and an opportunity to build a new, supportive network of friends/fellow parents in the community. During the 3 academic terms of 2023-2024, the service collaborated with children centres across Bristol. This included centres in Barton Hill, Bedminster, Knowle, Hartcliffe, St. Anne’s, Bannerman Road, St Paul’s, Southmead and Oldbury Court where Rockabye successfully delivered support groups to families. During 2023/24 Rockabye returned to face-to-face, in-person groups as their main offer to families as opposed to online work. In 2023/2024, Rockabye continued to use NHS funding for work with under-served communities in Bristol. A positive partnership with the organisation Refugee Rights helped Rockabye to successfully continue work with families attending our weekly drop-in groups across the year. In 2023/2024 Rockabye delivered its Bristol City Council funded training course to family support workers based in children's centres across the city. Intensive training was given to 4 family support workers at centres from the east and south of the city. Trainees qualified to run Rockabye groups in children’s centres independently of the organisation, directly benefiting families in their immediate community for the long term. In early 2024, Rockabye received news of their largest single award of funding from the government’s Family Hubs fund. This funding was designed for a 2-year period beginning March 2023, but due to funding decision delay, work began in September 2023. In the autumn term, Rockabye used Family Hubs funding to complete Antenatal training for two Somali speaking family support workers at the Barton Hill Settlement in Bristol further supporting the development of a Somali parent and child groups in this community. The Family Hubs award was also used to begin training in Antenatal Rockabye for two Family Support Workers from East and South Bristol. Rockabye also used its Family Hubs funding to run a very successful pilot programme for a new group for expectant parents together called ‘Parents To Be’. The first pilot group of this programme was run in St Paul’s children’s centre and Rockabye delivered two further groups in Hartcliffe and Barton Hill during this year. During this period, Rockabye used Family Hubs funding to train 2 new Rockabye contractors who ran their first group independently in the summer term of 2024. Rockabye completed the training of a contractor in Antenatal work and recruited/began postnatal group training for two further contractors using the Family Hubs award. One of Rockabye’s experienced Therapist contractors was funded to train as an Antenatal group trainer, and another Therapist begin training in the new Parents To Be programme. In this way, the Family Hubs award made a huge impact both in terms of training Rockabye Therapists and Family Support Workers and by increasing the number of groups the service delivered. It was a very positive exciting time for Rockabye as we extended our reach to more families across Bristol. During this period, Rockabye continued to be ably supported by a financial consultant who expanded timesheet payment and budget tracking systems as part of the growth of the service. Due to the expansion of the service and changes in the local voluntary service provision for PMH, Rockabye advertised and interviewed for an Operations Co-Ordinator role. One candidate was offered the role with a view to beginning work in the autumn term of 2024. One of Rockabye (Parent-Infant Support) CIC's activities is collaboration and building partnerships with other agencies. We pursued this in 2023/2024 by participating in Bristol’s Perinatal Mental Health Hub - a group of voluntary organisations who work together in Bristol. Rockabye also became part of the local Voluntary Mental Health Alliance of organisations in Bristol. The Rockabye team also played an active part in numerous stakeholder discussions concerning the NHS system and funding changes taking place in 2023/24. The increase in turnover this year has been directly channelled into the increase in ‘Delivery of Groups’ whilst ‘Administrative Expenses’ have remained relatively the same. Rockabye have robust systems in place for monitoring and tracking budgets and ensuring the efficient use of all funding income.
Rockabye’s chief stakeholders are mums and their babies, their families, and communities in Bristol. Where funding allows, our service also delivers groups in North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Children's centres and charities in all of these areas are main stakeholders in our work, as are Rockabye's main funders, Bristol City Council, Family Hubs and the NHS. For each group delivered in 2023/24, Rockabye consulted with mums and babies via the completion of monitoring paperwork. Rockabye practitioners collect written feedback at the end of each 10 week postnatal programme, and at the end of every session for our shorter 6-8 week antenatal groups. All comments made are carefully reviewed, and our service is developed and adapted in response where possible. Feedback has helped us make important changes to positively support the parents and babies attending our groups and our organisation is fully committed to this process. Rockabye also regularly consult with our NHS Commissioners and Bristol City Council and Family Hubs Fund managers when planning and shaping services. For example, Bristol children centre leads advise us on the areas with most need for our groups and the training required by staff in different parts of the city.
