Home-Start Bradford District

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The charity’s objects are:

a) to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical, of children and parents of children;

d) to promote the education of the public in better standards of childcare within the area of Bradford and its environs.

The charity's main activities

Home-Start Bradford District is an independent charity in Bradford, providing early years support to parents with young children (0-4) through weekly visits from a volunteer. We aim to intervene early, reducing the likelihood of family crisis or breakdown, reducing mental health problems and isolation, and helping families to thrive.

Families from across Bradford District are referred by health agencies, children's centres and other statutory and community organisations, as well as self-referrals from parents themselves. Support is customised to each family, and typically includes one or more of: help with positive parenting; accessing community facilities and support networks; medical appointment attendance; help with mental and physical health issues; emotional support; help managing stress; healthy eating; and family wellbeing. Each family receives an initial visit, at which a Family & Volunteer Coordinator explores their situation with them in their own home, and helps the family to set goals for their support.

The Coordinator matches the family with an appropriate volunteer, who will have parenting experience of their own and have undergone a ten-week rigorous course of preparation. The volunteer visits the family on a weekly basis, helping them with their goals and providing a listening ear and emotional support. A programme of review visits, training and supervision ensures that support is delivered consistently and achieves the family’s goals.

Families respond well to our approach - we are non-threatening and non-stigmatising. Working in families' homes helps us to support 'hard-to-reach' families who may be marginalised or distrustful of support services. We work with families by negotiation and agreement, focusing on the specific needs identified by the family themselves.

Our work is carried out through a fantastic team of committed volunteers, and we are grateful to them all for the skills, support and dedication they so willingly bring to the charity.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit at its Trustee meetings.

Achievements and performance

“I got on so well with the volunteer - she seemed like a good friend I had known a long time. She is excellent and has been so supportive.”

Following the severe restrictions of last year and the move to offering support by phone, the first half of this year saw a staged return to delivering our full volunteer home-visiting service. By the summer volunteers were supplementing phone calls with visiting families in parks and outdoor public spaces, and in September we restarted visits in families’ homes for volunteers and families who were comfortable with that.

Most of our support has now returned to being in-person, although the experiences of the past eighteen months have led us to offer more flexible support when appropriate, with a mix of in-person and phone calls. It has been a joy to get back to seeing people face-to-face and the increased opportunities for support that provides. We were also able to run our family Christmas party again, where we welcomed 15 families, plus staff and volunteers for a children’s disco, face painting, buffet lunch, a visit from Santa and presents to take home for all the family. It was wonderful to be able to give families a few hours of fun and relaxation together: one parent commented that it was the first time his kids had been to anything since before COVID (and for the youngest, the first time they’d been to a party), and they’d had a great time. Particular thanks are due to the team at BT Openreach, and Thackley Juniors Football Club, and the Waitrose Otley, who donated presents and treats for the families.

We completed the first year of our Bradford Building Family Resilience project, offering our services across the whole of the Bradford District. As expected, referrals have been greater than our capacity to meet them and we are seeking additional funding to increase capacity on this project. Our Home Start Better Start project covering Bradford Moor, Bowling & Barkerend and Little Horton continued into the final year of its current term, and our involvement with the Stronger Families programme, delivering shorter-term targeted direct support to families, also entered its final year.

It has been great to get back to seeing our volunteers in person, as well as our families. We have run a couple of thank you events – a garden party and a thank you celebration. As part of our volunteer ongoing training and support programme we’ve also run events on the importance of play, sensory ‘treasure baskets’ for children with additional needs, our annual safeguarding and diary sheet recording update training, our annual ‘Christmas wrap’ where we prepare presents for our family Christmas party and an introduction to the Stronger Families programme.

Feedback from our volunteer course of preparation:

“What a great group. We have similar standards in wanting to look after families. I feel I have learned so much through discussion with staff and other volunteers, as the course provides us with prompts for consideration and conversation. I have felt so confident to speak up in sessions because we are listened to and our opinions valued. I’ve come away thinking about things I wouldn’t have thought of myself. I have been pleasantly surprised to learn how professionally volunteers support families whilst being friendly and approachable and making the family feel relaxed at the same time. I feel so proud of you all and what the service is achieving for so many people in Bradford. What sticks in my mind is the great advice given by the Coordinators around being prepared to be open-minded regarding families – stay neutral and then build on the relationship from there.”

“The training was really thorough. Each week we dealt with a different topic and were given time to consider case studies and discuss them with the other volunteers. This gave us the confidence that we know how to support families when we go into their homes. At the beginning of the course I didn’t think I could do it, but by the end I knew I definitely could!”

We continued to look to strengthen our Trustee board, and were delighted to welcome new Trustees Karen, Tanya and Cassy after the year end, and we continue to target areas where additional skills would help in the recruitment of further Trustees. Following the appointment of Trudi at the beginning of the year, our staff team remained unchanged for the year.

In planning the activities for the year the Trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Case study- Claire has been a Home-Start Bradford District volunteer since October 2021 and Neil and his four daughters are the first family that she has supported.

Neil’s story -“When I split up with my partner, I lost everything – my home, my new job and two of my daughters. I had to start afresh with my two-year-old and my five-year-old in a city far away from my wider family and friends as I originally come from down south. Eventually I got custody of my four-year-old twin girls too. I was alone with four daughters to bring up.

My Job Centre work coach, Nichola wanted to help me in any way that she could and she came across Home-Start Bradford District, whose volunteer support programme seemed perfect for my situation and there was nothing out there that offered anything similar.

Julie, a Home-Start Bradford District Volunteer and Family Support Worker, rang me and it all went from there. I was allocated a volunteer called Claire and because of COVID-19 restrictions, her initial support was over the telephone.

It was so nice to have someone to talk to and turn to for advice. When restrictions were lifted, Claire then visited me in my home for a couple of hours each week. Just to have someone for moral support and to be there has made such a difference.

It is so uplifting having Claire around as I don’t talk to anyone else all week. She goes over and above what is expected. She made my youngest daughter a cake when it was her birthday and even sewed the kid’s trousers for me and showed me how to do it for next time I need to sew something.

It isn’t just Claire as Julie from the Home-Start Bradford District Team has been fantastic. She has accessed all sorts of additional support for me. One day she arrived with a clothes airer as she knew that I didn’t have one – I was blown away as it was such a lovely thing to do.

Another highlight was the Christmas Party, they had a Santa with presents, a DJ, food and they even paid for my travel to the party and back. After I left the party a few of the volunteers had got together and found out what additional things I needed – I was offered bedding and other household items and even kitchen stuff from food to washing powder.

Claire and Julie have helped me to feel less isolated as I now have someone to talk to and turn to. Having a Home-Start volunteer in your life can get you through a really difficult period of your life. I had lost everything and bit by bit Home-Start Bradford District are helping me and my girls to build everything back up.”

Claire’s story - Claire adds, “At first I was just chatting on the phone with Neil due to COVID-19 restrictions, so it was lovely when I finally got to meet him and the children. Neil has had to go through a huge transition from living in a one-bedroom flat with two of his daughters to a three-bedroom terrace house with all four daughters under the age of five!

It’s a whole new area for him to get used to and it has also taken him a while to change schools to this new area. Neil desperately needed someone to talk to. He is such a friendly approachable person and talks to plenty of people in passing but lacked someone just to sit down and talk with.

He is still in the process of sorting the house out and I have been helpful in trying to help him organise himself with practical things like sorting where things should go in his new house. He really is doing a marvellous job and now he is more settled, the children are also a lot calmer – he really is a wonderful dad and such good company.”

Of her own volunteering journey, Claire said, “I have always wanted to be a Home-Start volunteer. My mother-in-law helped set up Home-Start Cheshire and once I had more time on my hands, I knew what I wanted to do with it. As a Home-Start Bradford District volunteer, you are doing something positive for a family. You don’t take over, but you support families and give them choices to be the best parent that they can possibly be.”

Home-Start Bradford District

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Achievements and performance (continued)

The number of families supported in 2021-22 was back just above pre-pandemic levels, however referrals increased by 30% over 2019-20, reflecting both an increased need for our services, and an increased awareness of our availability District-wide. (Whilst we did receive referrals from across the District in 201920, we also know that many referrers knew the geographical restrictions on our service and so didn’t put referrals in for those areas we couldn’t support).

Our number of volunteer ‘visits’ reduced from last year, but was still significantly above the previous year, reflecting the fact that volunteer support for the first half of the year was still completely or partially by phone, and volunteers supporting by phone tend to contact their families more often but for a shorter time each ‘visit’. This is confirmed by the volunteer visit hours remaining roughly stable. As a result, the hours of support given per family reduced this year from last. This is because last year we deliberately did not end support for any families for the first six months or so of the pandemic, so the average length of support (and as a consequence, hours of support) for families was longer.

Family progress against the goals they’ve identified for themselves is measured by a ‘journey of change’, where families score how well they are coping from 1 to 5 in each goal (from a choice of goals in 15 areas). These scores are given at the family’s initial visit, at 12-weekly review visits and at an end visit when support is ending.

The most-needed areas parents wanted support with this year were coping with isolation (58%) and managing their own mental health (56%), both significantly increased over last year (38% and 46% respectively) as the effects of the pandemic continue to be felt. Managing children’s behaviour, last year’s top priority was chosen by 46% of families (down from 62% last year) and was closely followed by parents’ selfesteem (44%) and being involved with their children’s development (42%), chosen by a similar proportion of families to the previous two years. Help to access other services was chosen by a quarter of families, as they try to re-engage with groups and organisations which stopped delivering for a while, or where they find themselves with a need and don’t know where to turn.

Of the families who completed monitoring data, 50% were Asian or Asian British (mostly Pakistani), 41% White English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British, 3% Black, Black British, Caribbean or African, and 6% other White or Mixed / Multiple backgrounds (last year 34%, 48%, 3% and 15%). We supported 65 lone parents, 29 parents who had experienced domestic abuse, 54 parents with mental health issues, 14 with learning disabilities, 14 with physical disabilities, 22 who had experienced postnatal depression, 14 families coping with speech and language issues, and 10 teenage pregnancies.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Planning for the future

Our immediate priorities are to secure funding to expand our capacity, and alongside that to increase our number of volunteers to meet demand. As well as the increasing demand we are seeing our volunteers being squeezed, with signs that a number will have reduced capacity or no longer be able to volunteer because of their own circumstances – the need to increase work hours to make ends meet for example.

Sarah Hinton, our extraordinary Acting Chair of Trustees, steps down as Chair in the summer, having held the reigns as Chair, and then Acting Chair, for two separate periods covering the majority of our existence as a charity. We’re delighted that she will continue to support us as our Safeguarding Adviser, and we’d like to thank her for the huge part she has played in bringing Home-Start Bradford District to this point. Nobody could be more deserving of our thanks and appreciation, and simultaneously as likely to deflect it to others. We’re delighted that Susan Milner is stepping into the role of Acting Chair, and in the next year we are looking to recruit additional Trustees to broaden our skills, ensure volunteer voices are a key part of our Trustee decision-making, and continue to keep safeguarding at the heart of everything that we do.

We also plan to continue streamlining our processes, particularly for our volunteers, with the creation of a digital volunteer hub which will allow volunteers to record their visit notes directly into our case management system, as well as providing a one-stop source of all the information they need in the course of their volunteering.

Finally, both the Stronger Families programme and the current term of the Home Start Better Start project come to an end in the next year. The Stronger Families programme has no further funding, whilst any extension to the Home Start Better Start programme will be subject to an end of project review in August, so we will be looking at how we continue to support as many families as we can across Bradford, whatever the outcome of that review.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £1,095, including net expenditure of £5,357 on unrestricted funds and net income of £4,262 on restricted funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the 'free reserves') held by the charity should be at least 6 - 9 months of resources expended, which equates to between £114,496 and £167,243 in general funds based on budgeted 2022/2023 expenditure. At this level the Trustees feel they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding or unexpected increase in costs.

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £67,198 which is below the desired range. The Trustees have a budget in place which does not reduce reserves and will seek to continue to boost reserves where possible, to build them to the required level. The Trustees review the policy annually.

The trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties existing that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
