What Does Your Charity Do?
Ines: It provides onesies, pyjamas and cuddly toys to vulnerable children across the U.K.
Lexie: It is a way of giving this feeling of comfort and security to children who are less fortunate to us and may not have their own clean pyjamas and toys.
Why Is It Called The Pyjama Fund?
Lexie: It's very simple - we are a fund that provide pyjamas to vulnerable children and we thought The Pyjama Fund had a nice, professional, simple ring to it which is exactly what we wanted.
What Is Your Final Goal - Where Would You Like To Leave Your Charity?
Ines: I'd like to leave it at a point where we are distributing all across the world.
Lexie: I'd love to get our charity to a much more national stage, where we are quite well-known and have helped at least 1000 children feel comforted.
Is Your Charity Non-profit?
Lexie: Yes of course our charity is 100% non profit - all our money goes towards buying new comforters, publicity, maintaining our website etc etc, all beneficial for The Pyjama Fund.
What is the biggest struggle you've had to overcome as a non-profit?
Lexie: Hmm.. It would have to be the process of registering our charity (which we are still in). It is very confusing and there are several legal documents that need filling out, but we cannot find a good guide that will take us through the process step-by-step.
What inspired you to create this charity?
Ines: We were sitting with our family and friends on a very cold day, but because we were in our onesies we still felt warm and safe, both inside and out. We then thought about all the children that didn't have the privilege of having their own pyjamas, onesies and soft toys and decided we could make a charity and start to change that!
