All our services are delivered free of charge. Our vision is that every child and young person in Yorkshire and the Humber has access to palliative care when and where they need it. We have a set of core values, which guide everything we do: • We are family-led in the design, development and delivery of our services. • We are flexible and responsive to the individual needs of every child, young person and their family. • We listen to, respect and value each individual, without judgment. • We are committed to high professional standards and continual improvement in all we do. • We believe in partnership and collaborative working. • We strive to treat everyone fairly and equally. • We are passionate about our mission and vision. Our strategic aims during this period were to: 1. provide a service that is free of charge and meets the needs of any child or young person with a life limiting illness within our catchment area, who meets our criteria and wishes to use our services; and to support the family of any child or young person accepted for care by Martin House; 2. work collaboratively and/or in partnership with other professionals and organisations, statutory and voluntary, in the field of palliative care for children and young people; 3. maintain an effective financial strategy; 4. maintain high standards of care and governance; 5. develop our staff and infrastructure; and 6. play a leading role in development, promotion, delivery and research within children’s palliative care. Charity registration number 517919 / Company registration number 2016332 2 Martin House (Limited by Guarantee) Trustees’ report and financial statements 30 April 2014 We set out more detailed objectives in our Strategic Plan 2013-16. Our achievements and performance against these objectives are set out in the Strategic Report, below. The Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit is taken into consideration in all our reviews and plans. Activities To achieve our objectives, we deliver high-quality, specialist palliative care services for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, from diagnosis to death and beyond. These include: • planned or respite care • symptom management • emergency care • end of life care • community care (hospice at home) • bereavement care • psychological care and emotional support • a programme of clinical research and education Most of these services are delivered from a purpose-built hospice set in six acres of beautiful grounds in Boston Spa, near Wetherby in West Yorkshire. The hospice, the second children’s hospice in the UK at the time, was opened in 1987. Since then, it has developed continuously in order to meet the changing needs and expectations of the children, young people and their families who use our services. The hospice now has 9 beds in the House, which caters for the younger children, and 6 beds in Whitby Lodge, which caters for teenagers (from age 13) and young adults up to age 30 (and occasionally beyond). This was the first purpose-built teenage unit in the UK (possibly the world) when it was built in 2002. In addition, there are 9 family bedrooms where parents and siblings can stay and 3 ‘little rooms’ (mortuary rooms) where children and young people can stay after death until their funeral. Other facilities include a chapel, hydrotherapy hot tub, sensory room, teenagers’ recreation centre (the Den), recording studio, art room, music room, chapel, education/seminar room and outdoor play areas. Children and young people can be referred to Martin House at any point from diagnosis, between the ages of 0-19, if they have a life-limiting condition and live in east, north or west Yorkshire and the Humber. Children’s palliative care is different from adults’ in that it encompasses the whole family and continues throughout the life of the child or young person, and beyond for their family. Charity registration number 517919 / Company registration number 2016332 3 Martin House (Limited by Guarantee) Trustees’ report and financial statements 30 April 2014 STRATEGIC REPORT Achievements and Performance Palliative Care During 2013/14, we were actively caring, on average, for 340 children and young people and their families. In addition, we provided bereavement support, on average, to an additional 90 families. During the period, we: • received 86 new referrals, of which 67 were accepted, 16 were not and 3 were still pending; • delivered 3,105 nights’ of care for life-limited children and young people in the hospice (1,672 in Martin House and 1,433 in Whitby Lodge); • provided 1,845 overnight stays for parents, 1,099 overnight stays for siblings and 250 overnight stays for others of life-limited children and young people; • delivered 519 episodes (totaling 2,297 hours) of care at home and bereavement support; and • delivered 78 episodes (totaling 365 hours) of care in other settings. Sadly, 46 of the children and young people we were caring for died during 2013/14. Of these, 14 died at Martin House, 10 died at home, 17 died in hospital, 1 died on route to hospital and 4 died in other palliative care settings. We take referrals from east, north and west Yorkshire and the Humber.

During 2013/14, we maintained an average bed occupancy level of 77% against planned capacity and 60% against total capacity. This is in line with average occupancy across all children's hospices in the UK1 [79% and 62% respectively] and just below our target bed occupancy of 80% for planned capacity.

  • Of Children's Literature, Chapbooks, and Works Related by Form Or Audience and Printed 1660–1840
    Recent Studies (1985–2016) of Children's Literature, Chapbooks, and Works Related by Form or Audience and Printed 1660–1840 This bibliography surveys scholarship principally on children's literature, but also on chapbooks and compatible popular literature such as fairy tales and fables, ABC books, primers, and school texts, and juvenile conduct books and fiction of the long eighteenth century (1660– 1840) published in Europe and the Americas from 1985 to 2016 (a few publications from before 1985 are included). The bibliography is most inclusive for the years 1990–2014, in consequence of my compiling studies published in those years for Section 1—"Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of ECCB: The Eighteenth Century Current Bibliography (AMS Press). A 2015 revision corrected some errors and more than doubled its entries, expanding the bibliography from 41 of typescript to 88 pages (more in BibSite’s PDF). Then revisions in February 2016 and March 2017 brought the total to 110 pages. Some relevant titles excluded here may be found in my BibSite bibliographies on recent studies of 18th-century reading & book culture (where education and literacy are topics) and of engraving & illustration. Studies included concern the fable and the fantastic tale, genres in which works were not always produced as children’s books nor in chapbook formats. Some studies of chapbooks, especially of the French bibliothèque bleue, involve literature originally unsuited to children. For additions to an earlier bibliography (2008), I was indebted to Pat Garrett, Co-Editor of the Children's Books History Society Newsletter and that Society's Executive Secretary, and to Andrea Immel, Curator of Princeton University's Cotsen Children's Library.
