**Toyhouse Impact Report 2025**
**Supporting Families & Children to Thrive**
## **Enabling Service Delivery**
## **Message from the Vice Chair—Renee Lawrence**
The last year has seen a largely stable Management Committee, despite losing a long standing & highly valued member, Sue Cox, who relocated away from London.
Toyhouse emerged well from global pandemic with the launch of Central Government "Start for Life" programme, so assured funding has secured much of our targeted work, with many families using our services. In particular, the Toy Library service where I volunteer, is seeing the return
of families, as are other Toyhouse services at various locations. Last Autumn we recruited 2x new Project workers who have settled & are facilitating funded projects. With a bigger team we've launched some new
services, catering to the needs & wishes of local families. Toyhouse success wouldn't be possible without the commitment of long-standing senior staff. I extend our thanks & appreciation to the whole Toyhouse team (staff, volunteers, Peer Supporters) for another busy,
successful year; - also for the year ahead, when we'll welcome new faces, both staff & families.
Committee members & myself look forward to overseeing another successful year, offering relevant services & support for local families.

## **A note from Toyhouse Patron**
The German educator Frederick Froebel wrote in the 18[th] century, ‘That which follows is always conditioned on that which goes before’
_What has that got to do with Toyhouse you might ask?_
The services that Toyhouse offer give parents or parents-to-be support through the activities and courses available for them and for their children. The children benefit from the consistent approach of
Toyhouse – how staff work with them and their parents/carers, supporting and encouraging them. The calm voices at baby massage, through to the
cheery encouraging voices at Creative Cookery Club, all help children in those early formative years. Toyhouse always works to ensure that what they have been able to offer during the child’s early years is a firm foundation for what follows. Toyhouse offers a ‘Sure Start’
## Froebel would have approved!

also true in our Community building based Member Toy Libraries, most of whom have been in action for many years. We offer a face-to-face support service, plus response to phone calls & emails, addressing questions. All settings received some new stock in the spring; then all completed the Annual Returns form that contributes to the statistical picture of the service annually, in July. Nearly all verbal feedback from Librarians articulates the beneficial impact coming regularly to Toy Library sessions has, building the interactional & language acquisition skills of pre-school aged children.
**PIP PINHORN & JULIE MORGAN – Toy Library Support Workers**
“I am extremely well supported with skills and a variety of toys to help me successfully run the Toy Library. Having a names support worker is very helpful”
We have 12 Member Toy Libraries: 6 are based in schools; 2 in Special Schools; 1 in an Idea Store; 3 in Voluntary & Community settings.
Toyhouse has had a longstanding link with **St Paul’s Way Medical Centre** . We have been working in partnership with them, providing **Play & Information** session in the waiting area during the ante-natal clinic and the baby 6-8 week cheek sessions. These sessions have been very successful in reaching families at the earliest points
“Being a member of Toyhouse has offered fantastic support, advice & resources”
_“It’s lovely having somewhere safe where my children can play, and I can meet other parents. It makes me feel less alone”_
## **Benefits for Early Learning** Benefits for Early Learning
## **STORIES, SONGS & RHYMES**
This energetic weekly session provides a fun interactive environment for parents & children to explore stories, music & movement together. Each week we bring a new and exciting story to life followed by parachute games, song bag, instruments, large action songs and then everyone’s favourite time…Bubbles! These sessions are designed to boost children’s early communication and language skills while giving parents practical tools and confidence to support their child’s development at home
## **NATASHA & MUMTAZ**
_“My Daughter looks forward to this session every week and always asks to sing the songs again at home. I’ve noticed since coming that her attention span has really improved, she can now sit and listen to a story right to the end”_
“The _repetition and energy of this group have really helped with my son’s speech, he is copying words now and sings the songs at home”_
## **INVITED TO STAY & PLAY**
This project works with families where children may not have met expected milestones for communication & social development at their 1 year check. Referred via the Start 4 Life Bright Beginnings Pilot, families are encouraged to observe following their child’s lead, noting what they are interested in, reinforcing everyday sounds & interactions. With short film clips giving ideas & widening understanding about engaging in play and using everyday ee 7 4 opportunities to introduce language & communication. Developing important skills such listening & finding a range of ways to communicate, supporting their child in these important skills. Meeting other families and interacting during the sessions promotes social and interaction skill in a fun and engaging manner.
**With funding via Bright Beginnings these sessions for referred families with children with a identified developmental delay at the 12 month check.**
## **Supporting Attachment**
## **BABY SENSORY & RHYME TIME**
Parents appreciate the chance to connect with other parents as they begin a new phase in their lives. The welcoming, cosy environment, is a place to relax with their baby & make new friendships. They often tell us that once they come to the Baby Sensory sessions they and their child don’t want to leave. Once baby is mobile, they move to other Toyhouse sessions. Many of the parent come via hearing from others, coming along with their friends & subsequently returning when a second baby arrives. Telling us they value the small group, soft classical music, a cup of tea with cake, the sensory environment and the chance to interact with others. Enjoying a familiar, friendly surrounding and taking part in the songs & rhyme circle time before leaving.
## **Mumtaz & Sume Toyhouse Volunteer**
_“Thank you for hosting the wonderful Baby Sensory sessions in The Toyhouse Centre. It has been one of our favourite places to come together. The atmosphere is wonderful & it shows you all clearly love what you do!”_ Mum N & baby S
## **BABY MASSAGE**
Toyhouse has 3 members of staff who hold the International Association of Infant AS ‘ Massage qualification. Our courses have proved very popular with many a : a . new parents being recommended by those who have previously completed the course. Our partnership work with St Paul’s Way MC enables us to reach new families pre & post birth. We aim to run Baby Massage classes 6 times per year.
Touch is the first sense to develop and the last to leave us. Encouraging parents to use “nurturing touch” on their baby strengthens the bond between them; Baby Massage courses show parents the strokes for a full massage, discussion time builds peer support networks and friendships, with many finding this the first time they are able to meet other local parents and build social networks.

## **Sure STEPs Peer Suport** Sure STEPs Peer Suport
## **SURE STEPS & THE PEER SUPPORT VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME**
We have received many new referrals over the last year & sadly we have not been able to support all families who could benefit from dedicated one-to-one support from a trained Peer Support Volunteer (PSV). Some referrals have been for families living outside our catchment area, whilst others have focused more on significant practical assistance, rather than the emotional skills are PSVs are trained to deliver.
We continue to see high levels of parental anxiety,
coupled with isolation & parenting alone. Whilst trying to match parents with trained PSVs, we also strive to support referred families into sessions we run; this can reap yet more benefits.
**PEER SUPPORT VOLUNTEER TRAINING** Toyhouse held 2 training courses for those wanting to become Peer Support Volunteers (PSV). The first course was in November-December and the second February-March, resulting in 12 newly trained PSV’s. Some are now actively involved in supporting local families. The course runs for 7 session, exploring areas mums-to-be and new families may be struggling with, and includes Active Listening, Mental Health, behaviour types, Family relationships and Attachment Theory. Preparing PSV’ to be matched with families.
Our next course beginning late September. **PIP PINHORN – Co-ordinator & JULIE MORGAN – Trainer Funded via Start 4 Life**
“ _I really enjoyed the course & gained lots of useful skills for supporting families”_
_“Me and another mum came to Toyhouse the first time with our older daughters when they were babies. This time I have a boy and she has a girl and it’s lovely we can come here for them to play together”_ Mum to 3yr old girl, & 5 month old boy
## **EARLY SUPPORT**
## **MELLOW BUMPS**
Connecting with mums-to-be during pregnancy is one of the most valuable ways we can support families and give children the very best start in life. Our friendly 6 session course helps mums-to-be prepare emotionally and practically for parenthood, while also developing a deeper understanding of how their baby grows and develops in the womb. Through informative video clips, discussions & practical activities we explore the fascinating science of early brain development, as well as practical ways to build strong bonds before birth. Our support doesn’t end with the course, we continue to keep in touch with parents through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Providing encouragement, reassurance & a listening ear whenever it’s needed.
## **BUMPS Plus PLAY SESSION**
Once the Mellow Bumps mums have given birth we offer our Mellow Bumps Plus sessions. Some of these vulnerable mums experience high anxiety and accessing sessions may be difficult, with extra support is often needed; encouraging calls, texts and visits supports their wellbeing. The Mellow Bumps play session is an nurturing, small group that offers ongoing support before they feel ready to move on to other sessions
## **Natasha & Mumtaz**
_“I really looked forward to these sessions each week. They gave me space to focus on my pregnancy and connect with my baby”_
## **Special Early Family Support**
We are now into our 2[nd] year of utilising Central Government “Start for Life” funding to provide a supportive service to those families faced with a rather different childhood for their
baby than they had previously imagined when they discover their baby has a significant developmental delay, often without a specific name, or a diagnosed congenital condition that adversely impacts their development. Toyhouse staff are supporting up to 6 parents & their babies, with both emotional support plus the loan of appropriately chosen toys & play resources, which can aid their development. Recently, we have been delighted to find two of the families come to The Toyhouse Centre and join one of our Stay & Play sessions!

## **MELLOW PARENTING — babies & toddlers**
The winter of 2024 -2025 found Toyhouse facilitating yet another 14x whole day sessions for families referred to this in depth programme, who have babies aged 6 – 24 months the point the course launched. This parent’s course was facilitated by Pip & Hena, whilst Afia, Natasha & Sume facilitated with children’s group. Yet again, Julie prepared us all a delicious lunch, so all participants & staff could sit together to eat & enjoy. This was the first course in 13 years when all families were Muslim and the adults decided they did not wish to meet during Ramadan; thus we completed the course in April. End of course evaluations yielded not only positive feedback, but interesting insights. Support is ongoing for 12 months after the last formal session.
Contract & funding for 2025-2026 has been delayed by over 5 months, so
planning & recruitment will take place much later than usual. However, this has enabled support to continue for graduates of the last **two** courses.

Through Early years active play, children learn to take safe risks, solve problems, pushing the boundaries of what they can do, in a supportive environment.

Families attending these twice weekly sessions benefit from quality time together in a safe, supportive space where children can build strength, coordination, and resilience, while parents actively engage in their child’s development. These play opportunities contribute to stronger family connections & inclusion within the community. **At Mile End Play Pavilion Mon & Wed 10-11.30**

The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity's objects are to provide and assist in the provision of facilities for children and adults with special educational needs, primarily in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, for their recreation, especially through the provision of therapeutic and educational toys with the object of improving their conditions of life. The policies adopted in furtherance of these objectives are to support individual member groups in Tower Hamlets and there has been no change to these during the year.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objects and in planning future activities and setting policy for the year.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**

Toyhouse uniquely delivers many universal, targeted, and a specialist service, by our trauma informed practice, co-producing solutions with families, supporting and building community cohesion, and responding swiftly to evolving needs locally.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Toyhouse remains in a stable financial position at the end of the financial year 2024–2025. Total funds increased from £192,247 to £223,359, reflecting a net positive movement of £31,112. This improvement is jointly due to prudent financial management as well as increased income, particularly from investment returns.
The charity’s Unrestricted General Fund stood at £103,395, with a further £70,766 held in Designated Funds, reflecting a cautious approach to financial planning. Restricted Funds totaled £49,198 at year-end. While the charity maintained a stable cash position, continued attention to funding diversification and cost control will be essential to support future sustainability.
It is the Policy of Toyhouse that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider reserves of this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue Toyhouse current activities, whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Toyhouse continues to manage its resources responsibly, with a focus on sustainability and long-term impact. The Trustees are confident the charity is financially well-positioned to meet its commitments, and deliver its strategic objectives in the year ahead.

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

## **Income**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or estimated resale value. Donated facilities are services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contributions of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a specific purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment
- 33% on reducing balance
## **Taxation**

Toyhouse uniquely delivers many universal, targeted, and a specialist service, by our trauma informed practice, co-producing solutions with families, supporting and building community cohesion, and responding swiftly to evolving needs locally.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Toyhouse remains in a stable financial position at the end of the financial year 2024–2025. Total funds increased from £192,247 to £223,359, reflecting a net positive movement of £31,112. This improvement is jointly due to prudent financial management as well as increased income, particularly from investment returns.
The charity’s Unrestricted General Fund stood at £103,395, with a further £70,766 held in Designated Funds, reflecting a cautious approach to financial planning. Restricted Funds totaled £49,198 at year-end. While the charity maintained a stable cash position, continued attention to funding diversification and cost control will be essential to support future sustainability.
It is the Policy of Toyhouse that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider reserves of this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue Toyhouse current activities, whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Toyhouse continues to manage its resources responsibly, with a focus on sustainability and long-term impact. The Trustees are confident the charity is financially well-positioned to meet its commitments, and deliver its strategic objectives in the year ahead.

## **FUTURE PLANS**
Looking ahead to 2025–2028, Toyhouse is committed to deepening its impact and sustainability as a trusted provider of early support and early intervention when appropriate, to families in Tower Hamlets. Our recently revised three year Strategy is centred on delivering effective, community-rooted services that address inequality, promote wellbeing, and strengthen positive parent-child relationships.
Details of key priorities can be found in the Strategy Document and include:
- Securing multi-year funding to support a range of quality service provision
- Maintaining our focused, home-based service for referred families of children with Special Needs and Disabilities;
- Enhancing service reach to all who may benefit
- Reducing health inequalities where appropriate across all service delivery
- Investing in local capacity by accessing opportunities for development of all people connected with Toyhouse
Toyhouse is actively seeking strategic partnerships with funders who share our vision for early intervention, community empowerment, and lasting social change.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The charity was formed on 25 March 1994, at that time is took over the activities, assets and liabilities of the previous unincorporated association of the same name, which had been set up in March 1979.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
Toyhouse actively encourages nomination of those who have an active interest and connection with the charity, its Objectives and its services. Recruitment actively takes place prior to the AGM, when new Trustees can be appointed. As all appointments are for one year, all Trustees are invited to put themselves forward for re-election prior to each AGM.
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
Once elected, new Trustees are matched with an existing Trustee for initial support and are provided with a folder containing Policies and other Documents relevant to being a Toyhouse Trustee. Trustees are encouraged to identify a project with which they wish to be linked, then they are expected to visit the project and meet with the staff concerned. The Trustees have a rolling process of identifying Trustee skills and also gaps. This leads to sourcing opportunities for Trustees to access relevant information sessions and training opportunities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TOY HOUSE LIBRARIES ASSOCIATION OF TOWER HAMLETS**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Toy House Libraries Association of Tower Hamlets ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or estimated resale value. Donated facilities are services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contributions of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a specific purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment
