a. Context
Page 2
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 31 March 2021
The Parent House Trust aims to help whole families by responding to the individual needs of their disadvantaged parents and carers.
It remains rooted in our diverse local community where need and deprivation have only intensified in the last year and where our beneficiaries were particularly affected by the effects of the continuing CoOVID-19 pandemic. Thus in the whole of the very mixed area of Islington where we are based 43% of all children live in poverty compared to the London average of 37% and the median neighbourhood deprivation overall is 1.6 times higher than the all-London median .
COVID-19 has meant too this year that the Parent House building was closed to our beneficiaries for most of the period, most face-to-face meetings were cancelled and we worked from home as far as possible.
b. Work
Working remotely has meant evolving a Working from Home Policy and transferring, borrowing or buying office equipment, furniture, phones, desks, computers, headphones and so on for staff members' homes and with many attendant problems. We also ensured that our practice supported staff wellbeing.
Particular problems this year among our beneficiaries were the lack of IT resources other than phones which were used extensively. We helped them to access food, school vouchers, activity boxes, IT equipment and garden bulbs. Their main issues were food shortage, fear, lack of confidence, lack of IT competence, bereavement, home schooling and poverty.
Volunteer involvement this year was much lower too and mainly via social media, while referrals from equally disoriented partner organizations slowed until October.
We very much want to recognize and thank all staff and volunteers for their extraordinary efforts and commitment to our work in this period of unprecedented difficulties.
c. Beneficiaries
-
This year we worked with 243 parents and carers oi whom: o 97% were mothers, o 71% were from BAME backgrounds, o 63% were lone parents.
-
81% were unemployed, 61% of these were unemployed for over 2 years,
-
29% have a disability (this was evenly divided between mental and physical disabilities), o 58% started with The Parent House with lower than the national average level of qualifications, o The age range varied from 24-54.
-
They had children from across all age ranges. The largest group was those between 4-11 (38%), o90% of the children attended school in the UK and o 87% lived in council or housing associations properties

d. Projects
A smaller number of specific projects delivered this year included:
-
Knife Crime Ambassadors, o
-
Outreach Group, o Peer Mentoring, o Mindfulness Project, o Walking Project,
-
Presentation Skills Training and o Social Prescribing
e. Impact
Staff supported parents in the following ways:
-
To access £250 worth of vouchers to help them with their finances, o To get vouchers worth a total of £770 to help them with their finances, o Providing activity packs to 27 parents,
-
11 parents got laptops, as a result these parents were able to access services and o Parents were given technical support to use devices, which resulted in parents being able to access services including those of the Parent House.
-
It was only possible to survey 2/3rds of our beneficiaries this year, but of them:
-
o 75% said the Parent House had helped them develop new skills, o 100% reported they could cope better with everyday demands, o 98% stated that the Parent House had helped them increase their self-confidence, o 100% stated that the Parent House had helped them reduce their isolation, o
100% said the Parent House had helped them improve their physical or mental health, o 75% became aware of and accessed community services new to them and o 100% stated they had improved their communication with their children with our support.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies and in Post-year end events section of the Trustee report.
b. Reserves policy
The Trustees aim to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to survive fluctuations in income and expenditure from year to year, and in particular to meet their statutory, contractual and ethical
Page 4
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 31 March 2021
obligations to the charity. They also aim to build reserves to invest in maintaining and developing the Charity.
c. Overview
This year grants, which account for most of our income, increased significantly, while costs were carefully controlled. The year’s operations thus showed a surplus of £43,998 (2020: surplus of £21,329).and at the end of the year reserves totaled £157,929 (2020: £113,931) of which £85,621 were unrestricted funds (2020: £54,432).
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Charity was established by a Declaration of Trust in 1995 which was amended by a Deed of Amendment
(the Trust Deed) on 11th December 2013.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. No benefits or remuneration are paid to the Trustees and the Trustees aim to ensure that their members’ personal backgrounds or qualifications contribute usefully to the objects or management of the charity.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Board of Trustees administers the Charity. It normally meets at least 4 times a year and has appointed working groups that meet as appropriate to prepare reports and recommendations for the Board of Trustees’ consideration. Trustees attend the Charity on a routine or occasional basis at other times. An Executive Director is appointed by the Board to be responsible to the Trustees for the day-to day operations but all major and long term decisions are taken by the Trustees.
The Charity has dedicated staff and staff retention is very high. Whenever possible the charity employs staff that reflect the community which they serve and local parents are encouraged to apply to the Charity both as paid employees and volunteers.
Each member of staff receives monthly supervision, during which individual professional developments are discussed and supported. Between them staff speak seven languages and bring a host of strengths and skills to their work at The Parent House, including Social Work, Education and Early Years. This background allows the Charity to work to very high standards and to share good practice and to encourage reflection to ensure that individual needs of all service-users are fully met. The Parent House also benefited from considerable help from 70 volunteers this year, many of whom are former beneficiaries or service-users and provides them with continuing support and supervision.
Post-year end events
Page 5
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) for the year ended 31 March 2021
As the pandemic and consequent Government regulations have remained with us, we have continued to operate remotely by and large, taking advantage of the relaxing of restrictions when it occurred. This is inevitably not completely satisfactory given the very personal nature of our interactions with service-users and the practical difficulty for many of them to access appropriate technology. With an apparent improvement in the pandemic outlook, we hope for a return to normal operations on site later on this year, but at the time of signing off these accounts, we do not know when that will be possible for our staff or desirable for our service-users.
Financially however we are fortunate that our viability does not depend on continuous personal public fundraising, and we are most grateful to our grant-funders and other donors who have been very supportive in this extraordinary situation. In the circumstances we believe that our resources are adequate for the Parent House to continue through the current year.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
for the year ended 31 March 2021
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Parent House Trust ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
Page 7
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
- the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
(CONTINUED) for the year ended 31 March 2021
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. General information
The Parent House Trust is an unincorporated charity. The Charity's objects are to advance the well-being and development of parents, carers and children as stated in the Trustees' Report.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Parent House Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
2.2 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Page 11
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021
2.3 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have considered the impacts that the Covid-19 pandemic may have for the Charity and it is deemed that the Charity can meet its commitments and liabilities and can continue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether capital or revenue grants, is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. Income received in advance for the provision of specified services is to be deferred until the criteria for income recognition, including achieving any attached performance conditions, have been met.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Page 12
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
- 2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 2. Accounting policies (continued)
- 2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Building renovations - over the period of the lease Fixtures and fittings - 3 years straight line
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
- 2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
- 2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate
Page 13
THE PARENT HOUSE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021
that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
